While at SCI I noticed an outfitter from Botswana displaying a picture of an elephant which had been taken with a handgun. I asked my PH ( who did not guide that elephant hunt ) how an elephant could be legally taken with a handgun when the minimum for DG was 375 H&H. His reply was that the bore of the handgun was larger than 375. I guess that in Botswana energy is not part of the equation, only bore size.
By the way, the PH who did guide that elephant hunt said that the client demanded that he get her within 20 yds before She would shoot.
