Bigfive,

The elephant has always been at the top of my list and I'm hoping that a hunt will happen in a couple of years. While I have no ele experience, on two different occasions I've tossed my Filson Packer(hat) in the direction of two cow moose that were charging after I got too close to their calves. Worked like a charm as they stomped that for a bit, maybe 20-30 seconds, giving me a chance to get behind a large tree or alder bunch. I don't know if it would work on an ele but at 53 years old(41 years hunting) I don't get out of the way as well as I used to but I can always hope. I've retired that hat and I hope that the new one will be as effective. The jury is still out on that point.
