Rigby was charged during August. He's back on the horse and has completed safaris after that one. Very lucky dog.

Hi Ken, It was a non-exportable hunt so we have not received any word back on the weight of the tusks. Since it was in South Africa, it would have been in the 30lbs range as stipulated by protocol.
Best Regards, Marius

Thanks Marius. From the pictures the tusks look bigger than that. I am a beginner when it comes to guessing the weight of elephant tusks.
Are your elephant hunts in South Africa near Kruger National Park?
