It's got to be dangerous or else you may as well be hunting big cows.

So the PH got smushed? Sorry to hear that, but that's just the rules of the game in Africa. Ugly outcomes are absolutely possible.

Pretty sure the whole point of a big game hunt is....it might possibly hunt you back.
I mean there IS a reason they pay MASSIVE $$$ to go on those hunts. Edit: And I have no problem with those hunts. Whether bleeding hearts want to admit it or not those hunts keep more of those animals alive than would exist otherwise. |

Serious question, why would anyone hunt an elephant? Several reasons. They are the biggest baddest land animal on the planet, may a close second to the hippo but either will crush to a pulp in the time it takes to fart. Unlike Disney's Dumbo, elephants are a food source in Africa and the natives can feed an entire village on a Mature bull that they otherwise are not allowed to kill. The conservation programs in poor African countries pay for their Wardens , vehicles, etc with the proceeds from these hints which allows the animals there to not be hunted to extinction by starving people and ivory poachers. |

Being a PH is dangerous business... Sometimes you get the game, sometimes the game gets you. He's not the first PH to get killed, he won't be the last.
