Good riddance.:pac:

Agreed, a proper outcome for the poacher, but now we have a potentially wounded jumbo out there that is very pissed off with humans! :eek:

There is very little that can be done to identify which elephant unless there are overt signs to show any injuries. If it can be found it can be treated.

An elephant with a grudge is likely to react very unpredictably in the future!

Was thinkin this myself
Problem with poachers like that is the weapons they use are not suited for taking down an elephant with one shot so there may well be more wounds on it than expected
And also a elephant wounded and pi55ed off could also be a lot more aggressive to the other members of the herd taking anger out on younger elephants and potentially killing them
Can also be easy for a healthy pride of lions to hunt it aswell
Either way good outcome for the poacher but bad one for the elephant and best thing now is for someone to identify it and either tranq it and somehow help it or put it out of its misery properly and humanely
I hunt myself and hate seen any animal suffer

How is it hypocritical?
I'm not a poacher. I won't shoot an animal unless I'm sure it's a clean kill same as most hunters so there is no suffering its a clean kill and it died without going through any horrible death
This lad clearly shot at the elephant with a rifle not suited and not powerful enough to drop the elephant with one shot therefore is going to suffer a lot

Can you guarantee a clean kill every time.........


The hypocrisy I see, is that you hate seeing animals suffer, yet you don't mind ending their life?!

No last week I clearly put up a thread on best time to shoot foxes considering I am no expert
Was clearly not given advice but looking for it
And I think it's pretty clear what this animal was shot with
Wasn't giving expert opinion on shooting elephants
Really mate your getting lower with every post you give and no one is taking any notice of you now
You started on another lad other day over a decent shot on a fox
Bit low ain't ya
Good luck with that though

Mickeroo

Last time I checked this thread has nothing to do with dodderangler so please stop discussing them and stick to the topic. Discuss the post not the poster. Anymore getting personal will result in infractions & bans, one warning has already been handed out.
