I certainly am no expert on elephants.My personal experience with game management comes from culling does at my local hunting club.Over a longer period of time this helps the buck size tremendously.

Elephant dynamics are obviously different and more sophistcated.I have no problems with the Bulls either as I understand they are kept away from the cows until they are in heat.

But whether entire pods of elephants are wiped out or select females(not the ?alpha female) taken something should be done.Hunters won't do it at the prices requested.

There are just TOO MANY ELEPHANTS!!!

Thanks for the texts on Elephants, I will read some of them.
