YOU ALL GOT TO SEE THIS...Pachyderm it's what's for dinner NOW WITH VIDEO LINKS

No argument. Just a differing opinion. Lets not all get too worked up. All I'm saying is I hope the villagers would have eaten with or without a paying hunter to kill the animal.

And yes I agree. Elephant down, obviously the bow had what it takes. No question about that.

Again cheers to Marty nonetheless. I sure as heck wouldn't have had the guts to get near an elephant.

Sooooooooo to put that to rest, what does elephant meat taste like exactly?

[bruinman]

Chicken, lol, sorry couldnt help it.

That is awesome!!! He needs to extend his arms out further though to make it look bigger in the picture  

[rainman]

Little Ben the villagers do not have the means to kill the elephants or the licenses.  Paying hunters are what saved Elephants from Extinction in the countries that allowed it.  The money spent stays in the local economy and the locals get the meat.  This makes the locals keep out the poachers. Seems like a pretty good plan to me.

Come-on man.....

Well done Marty.....

Got to meet you now that I live in Texas....Mark

Congrats again, Marty.

Looking forward to the video.  


Don't worry about the nay sayers. Different strokes for different folks.

Fantastic job. Congratulations.   I'd like to see Steadman do a window decal on that.

Elephant tates like the hind leg of an elk! Best done in a slow cooker. It's tough, the stuff I had and they'd stewed it for day or two. That said tough meat is way better than no meat from the local standpoint. The villagers are very happy to take the meat. I have never shot an elephant but have many friends who have. One best described the native usage of carcass as such - "the next day there was not even a wet spot where the elephant fell!"

I myself would much rather shoot an elephant in heavy cover with a bow than a gun. Either tool it is done from close range and the gunfire brings all hell loose in an instant, scary stuff. The arrow is silent and does not create tha havoc a gunshot does.

WOW!
I couldn't do it, but I'm glad there are those that can.
I don't think it's sport hunting if you can afford to feed elephant meat to those who need it.
I wish my budget allowed, but for my sport hunting, I buy a target.
I try very hard not to shoot any critter unless someone is going to enjoy the meat.
Just my two cents on hunting ethics.

[ronp]

That is cool!

[ROSSBOWHUNTER]

wow, I didn't think that was a possibility.

[koger]

Way to go Buff, pay no attention to the naysayer! If I had the money and time, I would hunt everything with hair, horns, tusks and teeth, before I get to old! I am a hunter, and only limited by my finanaces!

[Froggy]

Great job Buff, well done. It still gets to me that someone's fortune's or blessings will always seem to stir certain folks. As my Grandfather would say.... "Jealousy will breed negativity, you can count on it"
