In the Bison hunt I was comparing this with (didn't see the elephant hunt).....the above didn't "seem" to be the case. Let me see.......think more along the lines of stalking a cow in a pasture.

RE: elephant
Being an amateur photographer, my first desire is to do a "photo safari" with my wife in a few years when the kid is in college. Hope we get it done.
After that, I will have a better foundation on which to form an opinion as to what I want or don't want to hunt on another Continent.
Like others, I am certainly not against it, whether I ultimately ever decide to particpate on a personal level or not.
I've got friends and a wife that think I am nuts for sitting in a tree all morning, even though they have never done it. Kinda the same thing in my mind.

My friend I asked for prayers for (motocycle accident) took an elephant with a 90 lb Hoyt Trykon and over 900 grain arrow, complete pass through.
I have no desire personally to take an elephant however I'm glad the possibility exists for those who wish to do it. That's all you can really say about it. Just because you (in general) don't want to do it, be thankful it's a possibility in case you change your mind.

Southern, there is no reason for you to apologize to anyone. Hunting/fishing runs through my blood and I am as adamant about doing both as anyone else that I know.....but for anyone to use scare tactics on me to get me to "conform" to a standard set of beliefs used by true "hunters", ones that will not "rock the boat" with anti-hunting anything because somehow the Anti's will latch on and drown us will never work on me.....for I am not a weak minded Jedi.

Two things that keep me back from hunting elephant and other dangerous game (I'd love to go after a kodiak with my longbow!).
1. Money
2. I have people that completely depend on me.
