I think you might have (at least, in part) misunderstood my posts. I'm all for the sport hunting of bull Elephants - but I believe the females and calves should be culled by professional culling teams. - NOT scientists..... hell, I wouldn't trust most scientists to do anything more practical than tie their own shoelaces!

A culling team usually comprises of 3 shooters either with or without a personal loader each. These guys will usually be employed by Parks Board and usually do this job on a regular basis...... the main point is that taking out an entire family unit needs very fast and accurate shooting (from 1st to last shot is usually just a few minutes) and it's bloody dangerous......and no place for an amateur - no matter how good he thinks he is.

Incidentally, I don't for a moment put myself in the former catagory.

Another author I didn't mention in my previous post is Ian Parker who also has lots of interesting things to say about Elephants and his opinions are also worth reading...... Don't know why I forgot him - must be getting old I guess!
