One thing in life that has always puzzled me. Why do we think what we do is the only way it can be done.

People in India don't eat cows because they are sacred, but we will sure down a Big Mac.
Chineese eat cat and dog, but thats just gross to us. There are so many of these type items. If we were from a different country we feel diferently about alot of things.

This brings me to my point, Ohiobuck 25 says "exotics" are better off left in the zoo. Did you ever stop to think there is some guy in Africa saying the same about a Whitetail deer or bear. They don't put Elephants and Zebra'sin the Zoo there because the are native to the land. But ship over a bear or deer and that's something special. All animals are exotics to someone.

I had to catch up and read the hoopla.

Broadside, congrats, that is some awesome stuff there.

If i had the money, I would go to africa to hunt. I'm not real big on foreign travel as is, but that seems like it would be cool. I would want to hunt cape buffalo. Elephants would be cool, but not unless I had one big gun and a bunch of other guys with big guns too.

An elephant is not high on my list of things to shoot. I'd rather shoot a dang mole or something. But hey, that's me.[8D] But seriously, if someone paid for the trip I'd have to pass on an elephant. If I don't eat it I don't shoot it. I'm not about to vacuum pack an elephant.

Is the .416 a kind of broadhead? Just asking because I was a little thrown by the title of the thread.

I still think killing an elephant is a pretty remarkable accomplishment for a hunter regardless of the weapon. Sounds like you had a great time, congrats on your trophy.

RE: Elephant taken with Bow
 

ditto

RE: Elephant taken with Bow
 

If I don't shoot it, I don't eat it...nor does anyone else-weird the way that all works out. What does a dang mole taste like?:D

RE: Elephant taken with Bow
 

Because that is how I feel.


I don't use game cams............or feeders.


My feelings have nothing to do with "how"...........just the "why".



Still don't want to shoot one.

I thought we were all hunters here and were on the same side. Now I am wondering.

Congrats!!!!!!! Looks like one heck of a hunt!!! I would love to go to Africa, but it would be a gun hunt at first, then maybe a bow hunt.

Don't pay attention to some of these guys, they always wake up on the wrong side of the bed.;):D

RE: Elephant taken with Bow
 

Wow!

Sound's like a real awsome trip.
