Elephant Hunting

December 13, 2016December 13, 2016kenritley

This is me, sometime in the early 1990s, holding my very rare 1917 Nitro Express elephant gun, chambered in the uncommon 3.25 inch .577 (not shown) and being paddled deep into the jungle of an unnamed Asian country by my buana, on the hunt for the rare albino elephant.

In recent years the rise of eco-tourism has significantly raised my costs and ruined the fun of exotic big game hunting for me.
