I never found the desire to hunt elephants but on the other hand the money that the hunt generates does alot of good and the meat does not go to waste.If someone can afford the hunt then I say go for it! Money for the programs,meat for locals,and helping save habitat from destruction.There are areas that you should find good hunts with great guides from what I see on TV...ever since I bought a .458 I haven't seen one in my part of the country to hunt!
