I think I effectively said ‘good night’.

(And I just hope you’re a VERY good shot. Shooting a wild elephant isn’t at all like killing your domesticated cows.)

But yet you respond.

Actually the Elephant is one of the easier of the big game shoot. Proper placement is the key and the Elephant offers a big target. One of the few animals in Africa where you always take a brain shot or don’t shoot at all. Walter Bell, better known as Karamojo Bell took around 800 Elephants with a 98 Mauser chambered in 7x57 proving you didn’t need a heavy caliber, just an accurate shot. Hit the right spot and they drop like they’ve been electrocuted.

No disrespect but you don’t get to shut down discussion simply because it’s a subject you have no knowledge in. Emotion only gets you so far.
