LHF, There are anntihunting organizations out there that tend to make everyone think that elephants are endangered. I guess my writing skill is apparent as I tried to state this in the last post: Elephants are very numerous in the african countries that manage them for sport hunting. in the countries that don't have sport hunting of elephants, the only way for bush folks to make money is poaching rather than guiding(tracking, skinning, assisting, etc...)

I do agree with you that I don't see the enjoyment of shooting an elephant, however a hippo I think I could, as well as many other species of african animals.

However, I know some people like to shoot these animals so by God, let them. I am ok with it.

DaNewf, I am ok with shooting coyotes too!
