would a patched roundball from a 50 caliber kentucky flintlock rifle be enough gun? Hmmm....maybe time to go up to a Brown Bess for roundball?

The tusked beast stood 12-feet tall, weighed up to seven tons and had a shaggy dark brown coat that hung from its belly.

Why would we want to do this? What can we possibly gain from playing God?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we already have some things very much like mammoths running around. We call them "elephants".

No no no..... we have to do planned hunts in packs...with spears.........You, me, and twelve other guys and our best dogs....all wearing Caribou skin tunics. No need for Blaze orange when the maximum range on your weapon can be measured effectively in inches.

Besides, the thing would run for days after being hit with a .68 cal round ball.
