Uh, would you believe the bull elephant is about 1/3 larger in size than the female? How about the ivory is longer and thicker than the females? How about the fact that bull is tougher to put down? On top of that, from what was told to me personally, the bulls are very elusive targets. They don't grow long tusks and live that long by being dumb. A lot hunting for bulls is in chasing down bachelor groups of 2-4 as they have their own territory and don't mix with the cow and baby herds unless the breeding season in full blast. My partner's dad has made several ele hunts in the past and he ran down the main difference between the bull and cow hunts. He showed me his ivory and there is no doubt in my mind that the bull ivory is the way to go.

Lo do they call to me,
They bid me take my place among
them in the Halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.
