I can't imagine a bigger rush, it's a bucket list hunt that I'll likely never get to do.

Their numbers are dwindling daily, not for me although I understand it.

Not for me. Those who legally do pump megabucks into third world economies which hopefully goes to conservation and not corrupt warlords.

I'd love to hunt an elephant.
If I could hunt four of the big five, I'd die a happy man. |

I have a Safari scheduled next year - but not planning on Elephant. Safaris are not all that cheep, but pulling the trigger on an Elephant is a damn expensive bullet.

That's limp dick shit to me. So are most of the African safari hunts. I hunt hard every year, but for things that are already overpopulated and that I'm going to eat. I love hunting, but I hate killing for sport.

I'd never hunt an elephant, but I get the thrill too.
If I could take a big lion and a cape I'd be a happy man. I don't condone it but I don't support it either. Hippos can die for all I care. Shoot them all, assholes they are!! On the other hand, if it was me or the elephant? I'd pull the trigger with no haste. Same goes for anything else, 4 or 2 legged. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: it all gets eaten... and sport hunting is the only reason these animals still exist in the wild. I agree with you re: conservation. I guess that's a good reason. My rationale with meat is that it has to be meat that I or my dogs are going to eat. Not a tribe of African villagers I don't care about. It has to benefit my family, otherwise the reason for the hunt was just to kill, not to feed my people. Doesn't have to make sense to others, but that's how it is for me. |

I would love to, but would have a hard time pulling the trigger on something that smart, that is so social. I've seen videos of families lingering for days with a dead matriarch, or burying their babies.
but a huge ol' African bull? would be an interesting hunt. I think I would rather hunt Cape Buffalo though |

I’d have to build a warehouse to house all my African trophies if I hit the lottery. I’d have a herd of full body mount elephants with lions swarming them. I’d be the number one enemy of animal rights groups all over the world. I might even blast some baboons and have them perched on the backs of the elephants wearing life vests with AK’s posed like they were shooting the attacking lions.

Yeah, but unlikely. I’d rather target brownies for their skulls and claws, though. I’d like to shoot and harvest a griz for the meat at some point. I’ve heard inland griz meat is divine, so long as that aren’t eating garbage and fish.

Not my thing. The vast majority of africa hunting is high fence. I've talked to plenty of outfitters at sport shows. If I wanted to hunt exotic game in a high fence I would just go to Texas.

I'd try it with spears if I had a group of guys willing to do it. A solo hunt would be a suicide mission.
Or an atlatl. George Frison showed it could be done. |

I'm not going to say I hope an elephant sticks both tusks, simultaneously btw, up your ass and out your mouth then jumps on your head, but I'm not going to not say it either. Man up, then join the military. You'll fit right in.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter I would for sure shoot the fuck out of baboons and any small predator I could. Baboons are total assholes and deserve what they get.There were two people in my little bitty hometown in AR that had male baboons back in the day. I had an encounter with one and he was a huge asshole. I walked by the owner’s car to get in my Jeep and the fucking baboon was trying roll the crank window down to eat me alive. Luckily, he wasn’t adept at it and I got away without having to try and not get my face eaten. Scared the shit out of me. The old lady that owned the other baboon called Game & Fish to help her get her baby back after he ran off into the woods behind her house. That baboon jumped the officer and proceeded to whip his ass all the way back to the truck and then tore the antennas and aux lights off the truck. There was dash cam video that disappeared. That officer caught shit over that for years because he was supposedly a black belt in some kind of karate and always bragged about it. |
