Hi Aat,

I got two pics of tuskers if its possible to identify. The first one was taken near Tshokwane in March 2012.

Image

My other pic is not that great, but the tusk do look quite big and I would like if it is an emerging tusker. It was taken in March along the S28 close to Croc Bridge

Hi,
Great sightings :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

The one almost hidden in the bush is to my opinion Fayi but not 100%

The other one near Tshokwane is Zambhala

mmmm another kudu and two beers earned :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Sending pics to me is not required....just a wish

Johann,
Was just looking at the one you captured. Good news , it is a named tusker called Makhadzi.
He lives in the area roughly from Mopani down to Letaba
Please send me the picture so I can update his page, please add name, location and date of sighting so I have all info together... mail to: tuskers@zeelandnet.nl
You know this cost you one kudu horn , price per ID :lol: :lol: :lol:


Great! I thought it might be him but wasn't sure. Will mail the pic with 1 or 2 more. Sure you can have a horn and a beer. I must just figure out how to get it through the letterbox :lol: Heel erg bedankt voor al je werk Aat.

Let's drink a tusker beer (kenya) even a virtual one will do.

To All..........
Updated my tusker site last week with several pictures of MAC (great to see him alive and well, might be one of the biggest tuskers at the moment..long and thick) , Nshawani and Nwambu and collared STE tusker Nkombo.

Pics were not posted here but sent directly to me.

Have your PDFs changed since last year? Do I need to download again?

salamanda,
PDF's haven't been changed. I hope I will find some time for it soon. My daily work and traveltime do consume much time , my lovely wife Elly has a small backlog with things to do in and around the house, so no much time is left for writing stories and IDíng tuskers etc....
