Favorite hunting story.

[3325]

My favorite hunting story is of an elephant hunter who had a clean shot a what appeared to probably be a legitimate 100 pound tusker. This occurred after much time, effort and money. And apparently it was already almost unheard of to find an elephant packing 100 lbs of ivory per side when this happened.

The hunter broke open his big bore double rifle and removed both rounds. He took careful aim and pressed one trigger, then the other. Snap. Snap. The hunter then turned to his PH and said, “Let’s go.”

I read this sometime in the ‘90s, and I believe it was probably in the writings of Capstick, but I can’t remember for sure.

If true, the hunter gave up a chance to have his name in Rowland Ward, Ltd forever. But he had a successful hunt and left happy.

That's a good story. Don't recall it being from Capstick, but a good one nonetheless. Even in the good old days a 100 lb bull wasn't around every corner. I'd bet he already had a 100 lb'er and just wanted to do everything but kill another.

One of my favorite hunting stories was about a guy who killed a big buck, and then some well known Roksliders snuck up on him and stole his buck off the mountain, triggering a months long investigation from F&G agencies. This story started the legacy of BOALs and acronyms on Rokslide.

There's another one about a drunk old man with a really good 13k foot sheep tag.
