RP,

The one on the pictures is one of many with this sized tusks. I can see , because of the distance, he is tusks are maybe promising. Near Boyela and Mopani I have seen a good number of bulls with promising tusks. Problem is to make get details so I can ID them based on pictures. It's just not "do-able" for me to have many bulls on the site and not be able to recognize them by tusks and (ear or other) marks.

:no: Lis!

There is very little chance poachers will try for such big tusks in Kruger as they are incredibly heavy to transport. The only way would be with a bakkie from staff or tourists, and very risky indeed! O-/
