Hey guys! I am on my elephant hunt right now - I still have a week left and won't be putting up a lot of details until I get back, but I brought along a satellite GPS tracker, which I am carrying with me on the hunt and it uploads my location every 4 hours (tracks location every 10 minutes).

Very interested to hear this and thanks for the GPS too.
 
Best of luck! Can't wait to hear how your hunt goes!
 
I spoke with Mike via text today: lots of dung and tracks, but after 3 days no sightings of elephant. Early mornings and long days. They say you hunt elephant with your feet.

Yes sir you do hunt them with your feet. Be ready to walk for miles.
The GPS thing is cool.

Love the technology, have used it for a couple of hunts already myself. HOWEVER, as pointed out by my P.H. the technology is easily used by poachers to locate where and when game is EXACTLY. Might consider how it can be used.
 
Very cool stuff, best of luck
 
Interesting following your GPS.

Just don't cross the railroad tracks. Remember everybody is watching.:D

All the best on your hunt.(y)
 
Seeing those waypoints and tracks makes me want to go back today.

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
