I am amazed at how many people are like a bunch in this thread. They aren't hippies and they aren't PETA. But they get so emotionally wrapped up on the animal that they'll ditch the concept of wildlife management completely and sit there wishing or gloating on the death of the hunter while they gnaw on a hamburger.
You're supposed to have sympathy for the animal, that's how we are wired and you might be a bit off if you don't. But these people take it to the point of delusion. We hunt, we've been doing it for over a million years. It's an essential part of what we are as a species. |

The guy got killed while hunting dangerous game..... big deal, it happens.
But some of you fags, "saying zero fucks" or "he got what he deserved", need to go watch a Disney movie and have mom fix you a warm glass of milk...... pussies. |

Dear bleeding hearts in this thread: Elephant hunting is one of the bigger incentives for the locals TO PROTECT THE ELEPHANTS RATHER THAN POACH THEM OR EAT THEM. African countries that do not hunt elephants have suffered steep declines in populations. The unintended consequenses of not hunting elephants is they die from out of control poaching. Yep +87 This is the kind of thread where Arfcom really could use more 'Fudds'. The LACK of knowledge being so freely shared would be hilarious, if it weren't so pathetic. i dont think i have ever seen a thread on here where someone wanted more fudds. i have to agree with you. |

Wow. Can arf agree on anything? Some of the comments in here are so fucking derp herp derp.
I almost thought i was on a liberal sissy forum. |

Quoted: 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. View Quote |

That sucks, but that's also part of dangerous game hunting.
There's worse ways to go. |

Once, there was a hunter with a Professional Hunter (guide) hunting elephant in Botswana. They came through the bush into a savanna, where they noticed a very large lone bull in the middle of the savanna. They noticed the bull was not moving, but standing there. They approached cautiously, and it became apparent that the bull was aware of their presence. The PH, knowing the danger of the situation encouraged the hunter to take the shot, or that they should leave. The bull was staring at both men, and all of a sudden he lifted his front right foot. The hunter was was insistent that something was wrong and wanted to move closer. As they did, the PH was very nervous, and thought they would both surely die. The hunter moved closer, by himself, looking at the still raised right foot. He found himself a matter of feet away, and noticed a large rock imbedded in the bull's foot. He moved in close enough to touch the bull, reached up, and removed the rock from the bull's foot. At that moment, the bull flared his ears, let out a loud trumpet, and walked off. Both the PH and hunter stared at each other in amazement at what had happened.
A few years later, the hunter was at the San Diego Zoo with his wife. As they were walking by the elephants, a large mature bull began making a terrible ruckus. The man and his wife did not notice at first as they were walking by, but after a few seconds, they stopped to see what the commotion was about. Right then, the elephant became silent and stared directly at the man. The couple dismissed it and began to walk on, when the elephant began making an even bigger commotion. Again the couple stopped, and the bull settled down, staring directly at the man. Others in the crowd were noticing what was going on. Then, out of nowhere, the bull raised his front right foot. Shocked, the man thought "No way. It can't be." All the while, the elephant kept his foot raised and never lost eye contact with the man. After a minute or so, the man was convinced that THAT was his elephant he had encountered years ago. Confident, the man jumped the fence, to the horror of all the onlookers. The other elephants were terrified and all backed away, but the big bull remained calm, and continued to stare at the man with his foot still raised. Slowly the man approached. When he was only a couple of feet away, to the man's amazement, the elephant gently put his foot on the ground and let out a loud trumpet, just like years before in Botswana. Then, the elephant trampled and killed the man. It was probably a different elephant. |

This. Sometimes the pendulum swings the other way. If the elephants are a local problem, let the locals deal with them. Fat rich white dudes going out of their way to "deal" with them get no sympathy from me, and sometimes its entertaining to see nature get one victory out of what probably amounts to 10,000 or so losses.

That's got to be a shitty way to go. I don't really care about hunting them, more power to the guy if he had the $50k or whatever they cost to take. But guess he wasn't wuite good enough.

One elephant provides enough meat to feed enough Africans to fill a small American town. Two ways to look at that 1. Minimal impact. With the elephant you only have to kill one animal, with cattle you kill 10-15. 2. It takes a lot of land to raise cattle. We need to kill the elephants, leopards and lions to make room for the cattle. |

Ahhh. Hunting threads always bring out the petards.
Its good to know who the liberals are on here. |

Dear Arfcom:
Today I learned that every human who has ever hunted an animal deserves to get killed by that animal. Because Karma, or something. Good Night! |

Along with the African bush elephants, it appears the uninformed sandy vaginas of ARFcom are well conserved indeed.

These threads call out all the folks who spend too much time watching Disney. Shoot a deer, shoot a hog, shoot an elephant...they're all animals. As long as it's humane and legal, then there's no difference. For all the people crying about the hunter not eating the meat, then do you say it's wrong to hunt coyotes (because I don't know of anyone who eats coyote), As others have pointed out, the locals do eat animals taken on safari, so doesn't that make the elephant hunter more noble than the coyote hunter. Maybe it's just to be a noble hunter, a person must eat what they kill. So I guess when I take a deer and donate it to Hunter's for the Hungry I'm a scum of the earth hunter.

I hunt bear with a bow, I know that it might get me killed, but that is part of the adventure. This gentleman understood that, once I save up enough I am going to do an African hunt, though I am not sure if I will do Elephant, that is pricey Tuskless hunts are usually very affordable when they are available. If you want danger and a story to tell this is the hunt for you. Cows are significantly more aggressive than bulls, on average. Bluff charges are rare. Worse, you have to go into the cow herds to find a mature cow w/o calf. You're at close range, all the cows are aggressive, and you have to be sure you find the right animal and avoid hitting the others.
