Spoke to hunter last night who says he took a 50 pounder bull Ele last year in Namibia--

He said the shooting of his Bull standing close to a herd was straightforward at 35 PACES with a head shot, but the aftermath was really scary--the herd ran away about 200 yards clustered up then seperated charging everywhere, all directions and he and the PH were running constantly from various cows trying to get away..He and/or the PH almost shot a cow that got too close when she cut their wind and charged by ?searching for them. Then he thought-SH*T,are they actually hunting me?? No Way!!
They waited hours then went back for the bull.

In short taking the bull was cake but the cows ?searching around really scary.The Ele had obviously been hunted before.They have no fear of man and will kill you if they can. Their poor eyesight is a blessing but their noses are fantastic.If you are unfortunate to be in the path of the wildly running Ele you are roadkill.

Oh yes. His 450 Dakota bolt will probably stay at home and a big Double go next time. He thinks working the bolt was entirely too slow for survival.
