Quote:Professional big game hunter dies after elephant falls on him in Zimbabwe
Quote:Botha was a pioneer of Monteira hunting, in which packs of dogs are deployed to chase deer and boar towards hunters. Netwerk24 reported that he recruited wealthy Americans to participate in his hunts.
I'm sure the WLB's two little turds were there at some point. They are the "heroic" type.

"You can't fix what elephants do."
I can't remember who on RantsNRaves had that for their sig, but it's a good piece of wisdom.

I still think that these hunters who claim they do it for the challenge should go in to the hunt with only their natural weapons against the animal's natural weapons.

Didn't that happen to Chuckles the Clown ?
IIRC, the elephant has a distinctive birthmark somewhere too . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Hmm . . .
I stand corrected, Peter the Peanut.

Fire-sharpened spear for the win! Shit, you want marksmanship, I can kill the bullseye on a paper target at quite a range of distances (I shoot expert with a rifle, about 3 points short of distinguished expert, because I use hollowpoints, which sometimes "fly" to other points on the target. I'm going to have to quit being cheap with my ammo.  I don't need to get a lion or rhino head for my "trophy wall". That's disgusting, to me.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I've never fired a gun in my life.
Closest I've ever got to firearms was at a military display when I was a kid.
I picked up an old SLR (Self loading rifle) and was surprised just how heavy it was. Then I picked up an M16, bracing myself for the weight, thinking it weighed the same as the previous rifle. Over compensated and fell on my arse.
