Tuskless - Chewore South

.458 Lott
450grn Barnes TSX Flat Nose Solids

Day one we followed a herd of cows, found them in a thick jesse. Looked at a few which were all tusked, we then climbed an ant hill to get a better vantage point. An elephant cow smelt us and came up behind usmaking a small mock charge, but ran off past us. She then turned at 20 yards and charged! Russ and I shot her at about 3 foot, knocking her backwards, but both missing the brain slightly. One more shot was put in to finish her off. Russ was sprayed with blood from the ele's trunk.

Day two of the hunt we tracked another herd of ele's, found them. Spotted a truskless in fairly open, leafy country. Got to aout 26 yards and took a slightly quartering on side brain shot. Bullet passed ust under brain, but put her down and then finished her off with shot to back of brain. All bullets exited, except the one in the back of the head, was found in the meat of the trunk.

Absolutely over the moon with my hunt, no complaints what so ever! Exceeded my expectations in all areas.
