Good Luck and be careful Bill. I hear Elephant hunting is something else! Here is the article I was reading:

The Danger of Elephant Hunting
"No wild creature on earth is as fascinating or as intelligent--or as dangerous."

Happy and safe hunting to both Bill and Cath,
however i must borrow GREYWOLF'S signature, " ONLY HARVEST WHAT YOU NEED".
ELEPHANTS?
Probably a good TV show, not good for HUNTING COMMUNITY, we are under a microscope the likes of P. MacCartney and BB waiting to pounce on tis kind of opportunity to drive another nail in the coffin.

The elephants where we are hunting are overpopulated and causing grief for the local people by stomping and eating their crops. When or I should say if we shoot one a sizeable sum goes into the local coffers and whatever tribe is closest gets the meat. I understand that when an elephant dies there is a bit of a free-for-all and when it's over there's nothing but a damp spot on the ground where the elephant fell. I was going to bring a cooler and keep the meat myself, but if I did that the beer would get warm and that would not be a good thing.
