Soooooo�.Im curious. Does Bwana Jim offer any elephant hunts? And if so, does a 100 pounder equal 100 pounds of ivory, or 100 pounds total of elephant?
Anyone?

Anyone? Representative trophy expectation with Bwana Jim...

FOsteology,
I see you've had a safari with Bwana Jim.
Care to tell us about your hunt?

Anyone? He can make it any weight you want and can afford...... a bit of molten lead poured down the tusk works wonders! LOL

Those of you who know Paladin personally are no doubt aware that he has a great affection for .25 caliber rifles. Word through the grapevine has it that he has recently commissioned Butch Searcy to build a double rifle chambered for .25 ACP. No doubt this devastating piece will accompany him on his next Bwana Jim safari. Have popgun, might travel...

You weren't suppose to let the cat out of the bag. The elephantized titmouse would be the prime candidate for the new rifle.

No one caught the titmouse as being a bird?
Actually and in a nutshell, the real story here is that after lunch one day, the PH came to me and told me to get my rifle and bring my cast bullet loads for the .470 NE. I asked why and he said he wanted me to shoot a cow. Of course I asked why would I want to shoot a cow and he then tells me the hired help had one they wanted to butcher.
The description of the shot in the OP was pretty much how that took place with the exception of being hustled off and the cast bullet failing. We did walk away before I decided to go back and get a pic. The mistake I made there was standing next to a wall with no hearing protection. Dang that was loud.
Later on, I joked with the PH that I was going to post a photo of my �buffalo� hunt and use his name and the photo. I don't think he saw the humor like I did.
I told the story to a friend who planted the seed for this story. Sort of like the fellow from some other state who pulled up to the game check station in Colorado with a mule strapped on the hood of his car telling the game warden how proud he was of his moose, or any variation thereof.

Hunted Namibia in 2006 with my older brother and had a similar experience. Here is a hero shot with his trophy cow. Our PH said he needed to shoot one of his feral (too difficult to catch) cows. I said my brother would love to shoot one and sure enough he did. Actually took us a little while to find them and only wish I had video of the hunt, the commentary was hilarious.

We were kinda poking around for a couple of those wild cows in Namibia on one trip. Never did catch up with the cagey bastids!

Paladin (and the rest of you Yahoos) - you are not right, not one bit.

Exactly as it was meant sir! Yarns are the fuel of the Campfire! Without good stories and the best of drink sitting around a Campfire would be rather boring.
