Hi Rose
Would it be a known tusker or emerging tusker?

Hi DirtTrail
Do you have any other shots, perhaps of his left side?
Thanks a mil.

Hi Rose
Unfortunately not, he just kept on walking slowly in that direction while eating grass and ignoring us.

Thanks for getting back to me RosemaryH
Ah, that's to bad
I was really hoping he was an emerging tusker
Uhm, how do I PM you his location details

Hi JBPhoto69,
What a lovely sighting.
You PM someone by clicking on the "contact" envelope in their profile
Unfortunately new members can not send PM's shortly after they joined.
I'll ask RosemaryH to arrange alternative contact for you to send the sighting details.

Good Evening, I located a Tusker a few weeks ago in the Park and would like to Confirm ID, I have a suspicion that it may be Kukura but I am not 100% conviced. I see that forum members can not DM straight away and I would like to send via email.
Thanks,
Josh

Why don't you post your pic/pix here, which is what most members do. That's the whole point of forums

I will do so!

Hi Josh
Welcome to the forums.
Sounds like a great sighting. Yes, please do post your sighting here, as arks has suggested and I will PM you with an email address you can use to send the details of your sighting to so I may assist with the ID.
Thanks. I look forward to seeing the elephant you saw.
