Thoughts?

I have never elephant hunted.
I haven't even really watched much with elephants.
(I don't figure to ever have the funds to think about elephant)

I guess I am a bit confused? 4 shots under 5 seconds, as the elephant was trotting away? My first thought was Texas heart shot. :p :unsure: Clearly it worked but that didn't look like other elephant videos I have watched.

I am sure I will learn more as experienced folks weigh in. Maybe There Is an angle or perspective to this I don't understand.
 
I've never hunted elephant for FWIW, a Texas heart shot as first.....seems risky to say the least.
 
Just like they do on a fleeing elephant after a failed shot - break them down. In this case he did the hip and going by the PH nailed the shot and did well.

Not a texas heart shot, the goal was to break the hip to prevent escape.

Disclaimer - I’ve never hunted ele and personally wouldn’t be comfortable with doing that shot. But I don’t know the client and his degree of experience so aren’t judging his choice to do this. Who knows, maybe he’s hunted several ele? In the video it mentions that was his second of the trip.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
