Elephant Hunt with Verney Carron 600 NE

It is very much a privilege indeed to face down an elephant and to bring one home. The second shot did good work but the beast still moved upon impact of the body shot. They are mighty tough animals. Congrats to the hunter.
 
Taken at 15 meters. In my book a proper and sporting elephant hunt.

Very nice video! One fine elephant!
 
It is readily apparent that a double rifle in a suitable caliber is the correct tool for a job like this.
Up close and personal is not the time to be second guessing your decision to bring a bolt gun.
Well done to the hunter, PH, outfitter and film crew.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
