It's winter and show season so there is not much hunting going on in the first part of the year. Someone here commented on my first elephant taken about 20 years ago and added a link to the story. I thought I would post it here for your winter reading. A version of it was also published in African Hunter magazine. As you read it, I would give a caveat by saying I would not choose this gun, caliber or even a lever action for elephant today. It was done by request of Buzz Charlton who wanted to video it and that was a long time ago..when we were both a little crazier and thought we were immortal. It was my first Africa hunt...my first elephant...but not my last.
