A trophy class Bullwould truly be one awesome sized critter!!! It would be interesting to see b-head/arrow performance in a WALL of hide, muscle and bone! For $30,000 though.... I'll pass!!!

That's awesome...........it would be great to know you helped feed so many people. What a truely unique experience he got to live.

That would be awesome to see an arrow take down an elephant. Just the sheer size of the elephant would be an awesome sight, let alone watching a 800 grain arrow drop that. I wonder how fast the kill is, or even if it was done with one shot. That's definately a once in a life time experience.

I would give the meat to Ethiopa


woot-datclick!:D:D

That is neat, i think doing something like that would be great. I think shooting a 6000lb animal with a small arrow is just unbelievable, and would be a thrill.

The guy was telling me that the guide yelled a bunch of hulla bulla at the nearby town and the people ran 8 miles to the site. The elephant had gone down with one shot. He was telling me that 50% of the elephants need to be reshot again. The locals showed up with machetes and loaded the meat into 5 gal buckets and carried them away on their heads. He ate elephant and eggs the next day. The hippo went to the locals also. I guess that there was nothing left but bones at the end of the day.

That sounds very interesting and similar to a conversation I had with a customer last summer. He was determined to shoot a heavy draw weight bow. At the time he was shooting a 90 or 100 pound Bowtech Sampson but he was looking to get a 110 pound PSE made up by their specialty shop. I believe he was heading to africa as well but I think he was after Cape Buffalo. He wasn't quite as time-challenged as the gentleman you mentioned but he wasn't a spring chicken either.

Its probably not true of this hunt but...

On a couple different shows they have showed an elephant hunt. On all the ones I have seen as soon as the hunter shoots the elephant with his bow, the guides open fire on the elephant with agun. The hunter then came on tv saying that even though it was a killing shot from his bow, they shoot it with guns because it could take up to a couple hours for the elephant to die.
