Lone Wolf: 5 problem elephants south of Kruger. He saw me at 30-40 yds. Eyes locked on me. Full blown charge: ears out, truck tucked underneath body. I had a 2-7X Simmons on my .416 Taylor. Had heck of a time finding landmarks on head for a brain shot on 2X. All I could see was grey. PH keep saying shot. I poped a cap at 12 yards....12 yards. Hit just a hair high. Knocked him down. Got up. Put one behind shoulder. Still ran. Dropped him with a spine shot.
PH and I had to change underwear before photos!
I did 2 of the other 4, but park rangers wouldn't let me take photos. All this occurred in a photographic park. Elephants were attacking tree huggers and ruining their photos.
