Nitrox, I meant to mention earlier, your main post is quite correct. With the 2 cull Elephants I shot villagers were there within 10 to 15 minutes. By the time they had finished only some clean bones remained, yep even some of the bones were taken, for what use I never did ask.

With the Buff I shot the PH kept the front half for the head and the camp staff. The back half was dropped off at a village.

At a place I did some culling on, in Namibia the meat was A) cooked up in their restaurant, B) given to the village people on the game farm C) Used as Lion Bait, D) put into vacuum sealed packs and sold. The money from the game meat sales went to help with the schooling of the village kids.

This Game Ranch was the place they filmed the John Wayne movie Hatari.
