She Gets a Huge Elephant on Day 1! 

I agree with you that we should not kill them. But, if they are too numerous, they destroy the environment.

Stop deceiving yourself bozo! Do you really have to lie just to make yourself feel better?

The surrounding tribes get it

So don't!

These elephants are all hunted in preserves where they need to be managed for overpopulation, or in places where they threaten human habitation. Hunters pay Africans millions a year to shoot animals that were going to have to be killed by a professional culler anyway.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU

you make no sense at all. so, when you were younger hunting a animal, invading its domain and because it was smaller it was okay right? The hunters that hunt elephants in Africa are allowed to do so because the animal they are hunting is over populating the area and elephants are very destructive. Do some research before your fingers start typing something stupid. You dont even want to watch but obviously you searched a certain criteria and commented on it, what a donkey lol

is elephant beautiful?? this is an ugly monster with funny sounds... but now local people have meat to eat❤

Great hunting action top notch!

The white hippie zombie from the Middle East is not amused by these shenanigans Lol

God gave man dominion over all animals.

@@Tom-yo7zf which god are you referring too…if you believe in a god you must know that there are several gods that people worship…I assume your religious gods teaching influences your beliefs…who’s fantasy is real?

@@terrywilson9500 Terry just doesn't want to admit he's a sinner and needs to change.

Scent blocking clothing is ok if you care for it correctly. It needs to be washed in special scent free detergent, sealed in bags, and stored in a cool place when it isn’t being used. But, even with that, there’s plenty coming off you deer can smell easily, especially your breath. I own a lot of very expensive camo, kuiu, First Light, etc. Including scentlok stuff, and I’ve definitely been winded while using it. I definitely wouldn’t put my faith in it, you’re better off with good digital camo and a tree stand than scentlok and a ground blind.

Oh my goodness, how many advantages do you so called hunters need? Man up or quit bragging about your hunting abilities

>"As a South African, I always struggle with this." I don't, and no one actually cares about your nationality to begin with. >"Americans killing our Big 5." Lol, I'm sorry. YOUR Big 5? Says who? How do they all belong to you? This isn't even in the same country. >"There always seems to be a justified reason such as overpopulation or the funds going to conservation." And they're both correct, whether you like it or not. >"Are elephants really overpopulated?" In Botswana, yes. >"Do all the funds really go to conservation." The funds go both to conversation and community upliftment, yes. >"Or do we just convince ourselves otherwise?" Who is we? The researchers on the ground? They didn't "convince" themselves, they made a conclusion based on their own analysis. Game departments base their management practices off of said analysis. >"I'm sure the animal won't go to waste, but elephants are one of the most intelligent animals on earth and it sucks seeing one being shot in the head" This isn't an argument, this is an appeal to emotion. It has no place in a logical discussion. >"Witnessing an elephant's life extinguished, only to be replaced by a callous grin for a trophy, leaves a bitter taste of despair." Spoken like a true South African, total cringe. No one's impressed.

​@maxmcqueen1196 bro, best and most coherent response I've seen yet! Spot on!

​@@maxmcqueen1196Africa for africans.

@@kennedymogomotsi6973 Aaand what does that have to do with anything? The person you're defending is a white South African, the same as me lol

These PHYSCOPATHS they need away to let out blood thirst

None that I can see. I don’t know what a poacher makes for a killed elephant but I just looked up the cost of a guide in Botswana to kill an elephant, $20,000 to $50,000, that’s just for the guide service

From what I heard her guide had to give the fatal shot, yet she brags how she killed a magnificent creature. Pathetic

Bad ass chick😊

You set up camp near the kill and eat it till it's gone

Will feed the locals

She only wants the magnificent elephants head.

@@jerrodladner3019 that’s BS…all the attackers want is the head so they can hang it in their house yuck! Who would enjoy seeing a dead animals head in someone’s house? Most people find it shameful.

Yes it gets eaten and in Botswana it feeds the local people who do not get a lot of meat, also hospitals and schools benefit from the meat. If they are close enough.

One need to chew on lots of raw pineapple, dry coconut fruit etc for practice for weeks before digging into Elephant’s meat 🙄😩😮

@@hstwodrainage.1410 no, schools and hospitals do not eat elephant meat, its a lie......the local people yes, but government institutions, nope

Great hunting action top notch!

@@hstwodrainage.1410 that's a big lie, just another excuse to kill

That’s interesting…the self proclaimed great hunter lady had a gang of men doing every for her except pulling the trigger when she was told to! she’s so proud of herself but she just wounded the elephant? Disturbing

Population control. $$$$ Is spread out to all parties involved.

Thank you for your great comment 👏

It’s means it is. Its is the possessive. Autocorrect wrecked yet again. 😉

Probably doesn’t tastes as good as the over $100,000 she spent to kill the fenced in elephant. Does anyone really believe she sent the elephant meat to the USA🙄! Or the Old giraffe that was standing still also that she killed? I can’t imagine why any real hunter would be proud of her.

It looks like Teddy Roosevelt’s Holland & Holland Royal .500/.450 Nitro Express.

Flickit…I’ve tried to understand why they want to kill a grass eating animal while it’s standing still eating grass🤷🏻‍♀️.

And eat it.

@@billm2078 billm, are you saying you enjoy eating elephants, Cape Buffalo, giraffes, and lions? Have you ever been to Africa and ate any of these animals? Of course you know the expense of shipping the substandard meat to the USA. The Great white hunter only wants ship the dead head of the animal. Is that the kind of hunter you are?

@@billm2078 Billm, Do you think the great White Hunters are sending the large elephants meat to the States for food, an you imagine the cost of that🙄, I believe they only send the elephants head to a taxidermist in the States so they can display it in their home🤣

@@terrywilson9500 no Terry it is divided up amongst the locals.

I was thinking the same thing! Hopefully her children are embarrassed by her

LIKE THIS GUY JEFF RANN WHO IS A SMOOTH TALKER, BUT HAS A MURDERERS MINDET, SHE HAS BEEN DUPED INTO THIS BECAUSE OF "THE THRILL

@@emiliomazzeo4286 if this lady that spent a hundred thousand dollars for the thill of shooting a non aggressive elephant and went on to shoot another non aggressive grass grazer, a gentle old giraffe, look it up, she also stands proudly in front of a dead nicely posed giraffe, a ten year old child could shoot a large animal standing still and the child wouldn’t need a group men to tell them when to pull the trigger as she did. I imagine her children are very embarrassed after seeing all the negative comments that she was so proud of…Hopefully her children have a more stable family member to learn from.

AS FOR HER CHILDREN BEING THERE WITH HER, FOR WHAT PURPOSE? TO SEE HER MOTHER KILL & KILL & KILL. WHAT TYPE OF ROLE MODELLING IS THAT? IF SHE HAS THAT HUNGER TO KILL, LET HER GO AFTER TERRORISTS. BUT I BET YOU SHE WONT BECAUSE TERRORISTS SHOOT BACK AND WITH THE MONEY SHE AND OTHERS SPENT, LET HER GIVE IT TO WORLD VISION OR UNICEF ETC. THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE BELOW THAT HAVE MADE DISSAPROVING COMMENTS. NO WONDER, -YOU HAVE CHRIS DORSEY & JEFF RANN THAT ARE THE REAL PREDATORS HERE. THEY DO ALL THE PROVOKING AND PURSUING AND KILLING. LIKE I SAID THEY HAVE KILLING IN THEIR BLOOD.. THAT IS SICK !

You wouldn't understand logic if it bit you in the butt. Life isn't a Disney movie and nobody cares what you think with the exception of life's losers

but your joke is not funny.

Don't justify killing elephants, just to satisfy your Ego

The bull fell when hit by the ph, the third shot.

I thought Humans were hopelessly overstocked (well over 8 billion & counting). No doubt without us (our belief systems, morals, subversion of those morals & other accompaniments) this Planet will thrive.

GOD DOES NOT BLESS KILLERS - YOU ARE BADLY DECEIVED AND CLEARLY IDIOTIC FOR MAKING SUCH A COMMENT.

It breaks my heart too😢

Now what.

Wahidulislam…isn’t that like someone shooting your grandparents because they’re old and defenseless. The elephant was standing still, like a large paper target! A 5 year old child could accomplish that.

Jeff Rann uses a 577 nitro if I remember correctly

Yes what was she using. You see rather a lot of boxlock double rifles in Africa, but far fewer sidelock doubles. Nice to know what it was too. I see Jeff Rann has a sidelock double also but a left handed stock on it, even rarer.

It looks like Teddy Roosevelt’s .500/.450 Nitro Holland & Holland Royal

@@jameswood619 Yes,,, but I think it is a much younger gun.

​@@hstwodrainage.1410New version with the same diameter!

Look it up they are immensely overpopulated in this area and causing a lot of ecological damage that's why they allow the calling of certain animals usually the older bigger bulls because also as they get older they get unpredictable and become violent people are killed every year by rampaging old Bulls

The Botswana elephant is not endangered, it is in fact greatly overpopulated. Not all elephants are endangered

Yes this elephant died just because this beautiful woman enjoys shooting elephants. Why is that wrong? Shooting elephants for fun and enjoyment is a very good reason to hunt them.

They're not endangered.

@@donaldward1880 do most so called “beautiful women” have a hook in your mouth? You sound like a fish thats fooled by “bait”. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I slowed down the moment you were referring to (13:09, not 15:09), and the elephant dropped immediately after the hunter's second shot went off, not the PH's. It seems as if he tried aiming for the hip as there was a good amount of dust that came off that area.

You are right Max. The length of the video is 15:09 and the “ ticking “ is at 13:09 when she took her 1st shot. If the PH had shot it on the hip, it would have sank on its hip and not forward and down on its knees. But one thing is certain. The second & third shot or both did it. So we should give her the benefit of doubt. After all, we were not on the scene to check out the bullet holes too. A Clock Ticking at 1400 , you can see bullet wound behind the ear…side brain shot 👍

I had to rewind and watch closely😅

you mean , bloodthirsty demons

@@ChulaBra Cringe

Awesome shot...congratulations!

I agree, awesome job, great hunt.

Pretty much neocolonialism and glorified white saviorism. “Local and Indigenous” Africans have been doing just fine living with lions, elephants and other supposedly “dangerous” megafauna for millennia before European colonizers came in, drove these magnificent beasts close to extinction due to uncontrolled sport-hunting, and then collectively said “whoops!” and then drove the Indigenous populations out of their traditional homelands just for the sake of these game reserves and national parks (same scenario as the U.S. government driving away Indigenous tribes for our own national parks like in Yellowstone for example), plus erasing thousands of generations-worth of Indigenous knowledge of how they lived with these animals to begin with, so much so that now they’re solely dependent on these white saviors with guns for *everything*, ironically the very thing that erased their knowledge of sustainable living and independence in the first place, and even then some of the locals hired by these hunting outfitters (“but it produces JOBS!!!”) actually have regret over foreign white dudes shooting their own natural heritage just for the sake of bullshit “sustainable use”, even though SCI, Dallas Safari Club and all Africans bought into this era of exploitation say they’re all either “pests” or “dangerous nuisances” to begin with: www.ecologicalcitizen.net/pdfs/epub-080.pdf But yes, whenever all these folks and corporations say “facts over emotions”, they just mean thinking only a certain amount of “logic and reason”; too much so and then you’ll realize: damn, this shit really is “neocolonialist”.

One less Botswana elephant. They are hopelessly overstocked.

@@rupertmcnaughtdavis3649 sounds like you need to get rid of the people instead of the animals

I had no idea elephants were overpopulated

@@electrical_cord In this particular country they are.

​@@electrical_cord they are way over populated.Culling is a necessary evil in this instance.They are a danger to human lives.

@@bakoena82 take a minute and look up the statistics of the so called “overpopulation” of elephants!

Good job gal? After the good gal was told when and where to kill the grass eating elephant she failed to make the kill shot, she just injured it and her gang of man had to put it out of its dying misery. Good job gal…

Oh, she was placed in position from her many guides in range of the large fenced in elephant standing still eating grass with its herd, when she was instructed to pull the trigger, she missed the kill shot only to let it suffer until she finally took the dying elephant out of its misery. Her family must be proud of her, such a great HUNTRESS! Her children must be very proud🤣😂😟

Dud

The first one was too young and had a broken tusk. Had good Genes to let breed. The group contained an older bull that was of the desired age and size criteria. Elephants are genrally not hunted until they are on their last set of molars and are past the vast majority of their breeding lifespan. most elephants that live to thier last set of molars starve to death.

Jim Moseley…Excellent shooting? The large elephant was standing still, a 5 year old child could have done that.

I think they usually use some kind of nitro express cartridge

Maybe you just view hunting videos Elisha…I’m sure the elephant hunters that pay over $70,000 to kill one for pleasure do not like poachers that sneak in and kill them. I wouldn’t shed a tear if I heard her home was invaded by intruders…at least she would see the hardship her invasion caused the elephant herd.

I AM TOTALLY WITH YOU. IT ABSOLUTELY STINKS. AND THIS FEMALE (if she is not a transgender) TO SHOW UP AND SMOOCHIE WITH KILLER JEFF RANN IS AN ATTEMPT TO APPEASE THE VIEWER.. THE TRULY DANGEROUS ANIMALS HERE ARE THE HUMANS - THEY HAVE THE HIGH POWERED WEAPONS. THESE ANIMALS ARE THE EASY TARGETS. THEY ARE NON PREDATORY. ITS THESE KILLERS THAT DO ALL THE PROVOKING AND PURSUING AND KILLING.. THESE KILLERS ARE IN AWE OF THESE HUGE ELEPHANTS AND BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY, THEY JUSTIFY KILLING THEM TO SO CALL "RESOLVE" THE SITUATION. THESE KILLERS SPEND SO MUCH MONEY JUST TO KILL & KILL & KILL AGAIN.

Mooseracks…Pathetic? I like your wording…”shooting” instead of “hunting”. Watching the video I never saw the great female hunter make ANY decisions! she was placed in front of a large elephant that was standing still with its herd, and still needed her guide to tell her when to pull the trigger.

Because thats what humans do.Destroy everything they can because they can.Just sick.

Obviously you have an empathy problem mate.

Harvesting? You mean killing a magnificent creature that is standing still in its territory that she invaded and she still needed constant instruction from her guide🤷🏻‍♀️Disturbing to say the least

At least it turned into some huge fried steaks

From what I've read they are immensely overpopulated in this area and they need control

@@bertbccfu9564 I imagine you heard they are overpopulated from headhunters and guided headhunter tour companies. It only takes a minute to see the real statistics on a Google search.

Jeff, she did a great job shooting a large target that was standing still with its herd? A 5 year old child could accomplish that. Try to take the hook out of your mouth.

that's a joke , isn't it? We call that bloodthirsty woman

A fading dose of adrenaline is worth a large elephants life? How pathetic!

@@terrywilson9500 Hell yeah fkn right it is!!!!!!!

@@_BlueCollarGamer don’t you think a 5 year old child could shoot a large elephant standing still eating grass with its herd, she had a guide telling her when and where to shoot🤷🏻‍♀️.

@@terrywilson9500 Probably not. Im not going to get to into it with you because your lack of understanding shows me you've never been in any sort of close quarters with "dangerous" wild life other wise youd understand. Its okay thought, it isint for everybody. It doesnt make you any less of a man or woman in any way.

I wish they would!

because they are bloodthirsty ppl

For fun and enjoyment!!

@@donaldward1880 not so fun for the elephant.

Yes for the elephant its for sure not fun... For for the beautiful lady huntress it is very much fun!!🙂

⁠@@ChulaBraelephants are blood thirsty? Their vegetarians.

You’re absolutely right Jeffboy. A five year old child could shoot and kill a magnificent large elephant grazing in a trapped fenced in area. Why are there so many so called hunters praising her “Great Hunting” abilities? Please explain, unless all hunters kill with such a disregard of fairness.

The only ignorance is you. Botswana has massive elephant overpopulation. This is a form of control

⁠@@TheGuyWhoAsked1well the world has an overpopulation of humans, should we have a “form of control for humans”? Maybe we could start with you!

@@TheGuyWhoAsked1 BS…

Its not wasted.

They need to be managed, that’s why they only kill old bulls, so they don’t affect the future of the herd.

No its pure hunting passion! This amazing huntress enjoined the hunt so the animal was not wasted.

@@donaldward1880 I wouldn’t call her an “amazing huntress”. Im an avid hunter, driving around in a jeep until you see an elephant, and then walking up to it and shooting it it really isn’t hunting. I have no problem with it, I understand the conservation methods that require it, but they are shooters, not hunters. A canned hunt like this is not looked kindly upon in the hunting community, not because she shot an elephant, but because she didn’t actually hunt anything. Thr PH’s do all the work, she just followed along and shot.

​@@Stonehornmereka membunu Genosida

Thank you for your reply😊

And what makes you think they don't already do that? Lol. This entire elephant hunting operation provides the necessary funds for anti-poaching.

Unlike you, who complains about poachers online and does nothing else!

@Rexford L : Does nothing else ? Are there no advocacy organizations set up to protect these magnificent animals from people who think that it is great sport to go into the elephant's home and take a family member away ? Nobody does that to us because we have representation in places like Congress . But these poor elephants do not . But that is changing .

@John Ishikawa Oh yes, I'm sure the elephants are preparing a speech right now that will be read in the UN. Hilarious. Bull elephants do not have "family members," ya dunce. They're loners for the majority of their lives. That might sound cruel to you, but that's the way it is. Get over it. "But that is changing," dream on. African countries will never allow it.

Yes living until weakness makes it possible for lions to take you down and eat you to death is far better

Cause the crew is a waste of space with no morality.

Yes 100% agree!! Hunting elephant is a very beautiful hobby!!!!

It cracks me up when she jumps with excitement after taking the shot. The lady is a live wire.

@@damienluxford4480 I think the female enjoys dominating, something she’s not able to accomplish in her life, killing an elephant that is standing still is pathetic, I feel sorry for the children she mention, I imagine the negative comments are embarrassing to them. So many sad aspects of this story.

Exciting to watch Damien? Did she set a hook in your mouth? I didn’t see her make any decisions, she relied on her guide to place her in front of the stationary elephant and waited for the moment he told her pull the trigger.

I think she's cute. Also the elephant had to go, pursuant to the safe management of the herd.

Damien, are you saying the elephant “ had to go” because it was older, kinda like your parents or grandparents, they deserve death bc they are old? If you don’t have a minute to look up statistics I just copied this from Google. By 1900 this had fallen to around 10 million elephants and by 1979 down to 1.3 million. There was a rapid decline in population size over the 1970s and 1980s such that by the mid-1990s numbers had fallen below 300,000. 20,000 elephants are killed yearly, Not for food but for personal enjoyment. Safe management would be protection not extinction. I’m not wanting to sound rude, I’m just trying to give you facts. Do you know the “cute” huntress went on to kill a docile grass eating giraffe that she proudly posed next to the dead animal. I hope you are a respectful hunter for food not a dead head to hang in your house.
