Default RE: Elephant taken with Bow

ORIGINAL: BroadsideAdventures

An elephant is like any other game animal.

No.........it's not.


In Zimbabwe there are over 90,000 elephants. This many elephants can wipe outan entireforest. I personally saw area's wiped out, the trees stunted at about 5' tall. The Whange National Parkhas plansto take 1000 elephants out of the park this year because of over populations.
I never addressed whether or not they may NEED to be controlled. I simply said I can't imagine why anyone would WANT to shoot one and call it a "hunt".


They are the king of all animals.



I guarantee you an Elephant hunt is harder than any Whitetail or Elk hunt you've ever had!



It will get in your blood.
