Riaan came on short notice for a pressure 3 day tuskless hunt in Deka Safari area. The first day we looked at 3 groups of elephants before finding a very old big tuskless. The wind was good but it was very open. They were walking away from us and we walked right up behind her hoping that she would turn round and give us a frontal brainshot. Unfortunately she saw us and started to turn away so Riaan gave her a perfect side brainshot at 16 yards which dropped ere in her tracks. The woodleigh exited. During the day we also saw a young elephant cow with a broken leg which Riaan shot as an act of mercy killing. During our safari we saw over 200 elephants and some nice plainsgame.
