Hey guys! I am on my elephant hunt right now - I still have a week left and won't be putting up a lot of details until I get back, but I brought along a satellite GPS tracker, which I am carrying with me on the hunt and it uploads my location every 4 hours (tracks location every 10 minutes).

Very interested to hear this and thanks for the GPS too.
 
Best of luck! Can't wait to hear how your hunt goes!
 
I spoke with Mike via text today: lots of dung and tracks, but after 3 days no sightings of elephant. Early mornings and long days. They say you hunt elephant with your feet.

Yes sir you do hunt them with your feet. Be ready to walk for miles.
The GPS thing is cool.

Love the technology, have used it for a couple of hunts already myself. HOWEVER, as pointed out by my P.H. the technology is easily used by poachers to locate where and when game is EXACTLY. Might consider how it can be used.
 
Very cool stuff, best of luck
 
Interesting following your GPS.

Just don't cross the railroad tracks. Remember everybody is watching.:D

All the best on your hunt.(y)
 
Seeing those waypoints and tracks makes me want to go back today.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Hello, I have giraffe leg bones similarly carved as well as elephant tusks which came out of the Congo in the mid-sixties
