| Weapon |

| Day 1 - 3 | |
We followed at least 2 herds a day seeing 76 elephant and several tuskless that were not shootable as they had dependant calves. |

| Day 4 | |
 |
On day four in the 4th herd we follow 6 elephant cows of which 3 were tuskless, and 1 was shootable. We got to 15 yards and Vincent put an arrow behind the shoulder. The arrow completely disappeared. |
 |
We later found the arrow must have deflected off the side of a rib as it went through one lung, the liver and and was found in the stomach. She broke from the herd and we followed her for 2.5hours before Vincent got a second arrow into her which went right through the elephant and was found 15 yards on the other side of her. She unfortunatly then charged and Buzz had to shoot her in self defense at 10 yards. |
| Kwekwe | |
 |
We then went to Kwekwe where we hunted leopard. We had 2 monster cats on bait and the dogs caught one on a rock but was too far for the bow (45 yards). He was a monster about 180lbs. He then went into 3 caves and we tried everything to get him out of the last cave without luck. |
 |
While in Kwekwe Vincent shot 2 impala one which had abnormal horns and 1 baboon with his bow. We had a fantastic hunt and Vincent has booked another elephant in 2008. |
