Wheels,
nobody should make a fool of himself if he misjudges such a weight.
And the PH is no San
,but a Shona with over 1,80 m
The tooth weighs 105 pounds (@ RickCox : wow you guessed 104,respect)
The second ,not to see ,broke off,79 pounds.
I would have guessed it more easily, since it seems to be relatively thin.
This amazing man has shot in his life over 500 elephants, all of them with the .375 H+H on elephant control .He raves in the highest tones (he had no other) about the 375, because he thinks none would have such a penetration as this and all with the "cheap" South African PMP ammunition.But head shots.
He told me, how he tried to paralyze a marauding elephant from behind over the tail root to him, then the catch shot to attach and missed the spine, the full metal bullet stuck in the lung and the elephant died after 800 m
The necessity for these control hunts would still be there, but after the new media has spread everything about the world in a flash, no government dares to go through with it to escape the shitstorm anymore.
These culls didn't deserve the word hunt either, when the lead cow lay on the ground (she got the first shot, a question of life) it was a slaughter to shoot the rest of the excited herd.
It is a pure wild biological measure, but all meat has been used in Zimbabwe !!! Depending on the size of the herds, up to 300 men were busy with the logistic and the shooters were always three of them with a loader.
If you consider that the photo is over 25 years old, the population in Sub-Saharan Africa has doubled since then.
What will remain for us hunters there in the next 25 years?
By the way, my wife thinks the zebra pants of my hunter are very fancy and I'm happy, not to have to wear them
Nice weekend
