Many of our customers will recall that we recommended the first volume of Big Botswana Tuskers, which was launched two years ago. As before, the camera footage provides excellent, close-up coverage with very clear, good shots; there are also, of course, kill shots. Ivory from Botswana is heavy?some tusks have circumferences of over twenty inches at the lip?and even a piece of ?stump? ivory can weigh forty pounds or more. Because of the huge elephant herds in Botswana, hunters see ten to twenty, or sometimes more, mature bull elephants in one day. And these are not the so-called ?Congo rats? of Central and West Africa that some PHs call the smaller races of elephants, which live farther north and west. No, these are the giants, the very biggest Africa has to offer: eleven feet at the shoulder or more and with weights reputed to be seven-tons-plus. This DVD is not a polished production, but we are recommending this film because the footage is so very good. We can only hope that this company?s next DVD will include better studio work.
Produced by Garrick Cormack, this DVD follows Johan Calitz & his clients on fifteen hunts. If you want elephants, more elephants, & then some large ivory thrown in with an elephant topping, this DVD is for you! It?s an overall great movie that will be enjoyed by every armchair & real elephant hunter out there.
