| Day 1 - 2 | |
 |
We hunted a total of 4 days and looked over 100 elephants. On the 2nd day Bruce shot an elephant cow with a quartering on frontal brain shot at 20 yards. |
 |
She dropped at the first shot and we found the bullet had exited 35". An insurance shot was recovered and the bullet was recovered in perfect condition. |

| Day 4 | |
 |
On the 4th day we moved north to the Zambezi. We tracked a herd that winded us and we could not catch up. Instead we walked into a spring near the Mozambique boarder. We were lucky to find a tuskless which Bruce shot through thick jess at about 25 yards. She dropped at the first fronta brain shot. |

| Day 5 - 6 | |
|
The next 2 days were spent on the Zambezi River exploring the Mpata Gorge. Highlights apart from the two ele's were the numerous close encounters with the elephants. Never mind the lion and leopard 5 metres from Chri's bed!! This was Chris's first trip to Africa. |

| Client Comments | |
| This hunt is my 7th to Africa and Chris's first. Buzz Charlton's hunting skills are only exceeded by his social skills and his ability to take very good care of us. He was kind enough to drive us out to camp so that we could see the country and all the wildlife. We saw over 100 elephants and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. -Bruce & Chris Bowen, August 2006 |
