Well done by the young man! I do wonder why hunters carry rifles barrel forward in Africa-that muzzle always finds its way to someone’s back. Perry P. , SoCal, USA
Well done, Chris, Botswana is hopelessly over stocked with elephants, they are destroying the environment. And now there's lots of food for the local citizens.
How do I contact you, Chris. My last hunt was in Zimbabwe with Geoff Broom. I'm not an elephant hunter but M'bogo is my meat. I'm 76 years old. Have 470, will travel, Rob Dorsey
I guess they had to, it was charging through the brush! No seriously that brought a lot of money to that economy over there because they’re gonna have to cull those elephants anyway. There’s way too many in that area.
There's a lot of unsafe gun handling in these African safari vids. It is so unsafe the way they are carrying their rifles. Disgusting and no regard for safety.
No, it is exactly what it is. The point of DG hunting is to get as close as you can to deliver a clean, humane, ethical killing shot without getting yourself stomped on. That is exactly what happened on the video. The hunter did just fine.
Ignorance is bliss. Where does the money come from to stop poachers? The poachers use bombs to damage an elephant’s jaw so they can’t eat. They use cable snares that are excruciating to the elephants. This elephant will feed the locals and fund rangers to intercept poachers. Lastly, elephants replace their 5th set of molars around 48-years-old. When those molars are no longer able to function, they die slowly of starvation. Did you get all that sugar foot?
why was this elephant killed ? had it done something to endanger human life? or is just a rich brat has daddy pay so he can kill, something majestic and say what a big boy am i
While I fail to see the attraction of killing an animal what never did me any harm, one must give the devil his due. Without controlled, well regulated game hunting, more species would be endangered, the gene pools would be smaller, wilderness areas would be turned over to developers. Also these enterprises generate employment in countries where joblessness is devastating.
@@darkgalaxy5548 how th Cana native species make more endangered?? elephants 400 years ago we’re in the millions and nothing was wrong. I simply refuse to believe that
@@philseiberling9933 Millions of cows are killed every day. Are cows endangered? No! As long as rich people are willing to pay money to shoot an elephant, the hunting industry will ensure that there are elephants.
Like fish in a barrel huh. Big game hunters. Come on. If its over populated maybe. Find onther hobby or help animals or somthing. You seem like you got a heart. I'm no do good. er. Work concrete so I no the macho thing. If it was 1920 or. I don't know I'd rather feed them. Chow kiddo
The frontal target size of an elephant is about an inch, and the heart target is the size of a dinner plate. It's a way harder shot than a deer or an elk.
You are uninformed. Do some reasearch. This is not poaching this is a legal hunt sanctioned by the Botswana goverment. The had a complete ban oe Elephant hunting for many years and the population exploded to such an extend that they were destroying the entire habitat. Every hunted elephant benifits the local population financially and all the meat goes to thenmas well which in many cases will sustain them for weeks.
Beautiful Animal and loved life now a silent memory.
A perfect shot WOW no problems done humanly congrats on a nice Bull and the villagers will be happy cause there’s a lot of protein to go around
Absolutely!
That was awesome. Great shot

"Nothing like starting on top" GOAT comment in the brush!
Kid was born on third base, thought he hit a triple. He gonna be telling everyone to pull yourself up by your bootstraps like he did in no time.
Excellent shot, quick and ethical!!
Just awesome 💪 Respect for that patience 💪
Very nice looking bull . Very good shooting. Will be looking for the next hunt.
The young man is already showing good signs of becoming a seasoned hunter soon 👍
Perfect composure. And shot for a young first time hunter.
What nerve!
And good field guiding as well.
Great hunting action top notch!
Well done, Chris, Botswana is hopelessly over stocked with elephants, they are destroying the environment. And now there's lots of food for the local citizens.
Absolutely true mate 👍👍👍
Good shot ... without shooting sticks ✌🏿
The big guy has poor muzzle awareness but yhe young lad was great.

Well done...Daddy's Little Boy!
Why do use scope all the time, it is at that proximity missleading and needing more than one shot...
good shot,how difficult was that?
Sounds like the bullet goes right through ..... pheeeew. Good shot. Congrats
goes pweee because he missed ph didnt or ,!!#@÷$ shit that hurts
Not being critical but I could not shoot an elephant. Lion or Brown bear? Yes. But elephants are pretty intelligent.
@@cosmiccharlie8294 what’s os different about lion? They are just above the endangered line.
A lion is more endangered than a elephant
Why they killed it?
I guess they had to, it was charging through the brush! No seriously that brought a lot of money to that economy over there because they’re gonna have to cull those elephants anyway. There’s way too many in that area.
They explain in the video
@@shreelakshmibs265 to poach and put it online
@@spamgwin4166 they explained they wanted to see how fast they can make African bush elephants critically endangered
@@philseiberling9933 they are extremely overpopulated in botswana
I wouldn't want any of those guys standing behind me.

What rifle and cal did he use?
That's an Holland & Holland 700 Nitro, maybe a Nitro Express. Talking USD 400K and upwards.
@@bujinin7096No it's not 😂
400 k lmmfao😂😂😂😂
Why
Another one the poachers WON'T get!
Congratulations to Chris Severs. It's great to see a young elephant hunter. 🙂
Congratulations on a great shot and great hunt. What rifle and cartridge did you use to take the bull?
elephant is human friendly animal. it should not be shooted.
Here it is the dumbest thing I’ll read all day
educate yourself before you comment
Good job
Now you need to ditch the Remchester for a double. Great job.
Why
Do you know what happens to an elephant after the age of 47? Educate yourself, it's amazing what you can learn.
@@Madocthevindicator it’s amazing that they could be poaching! Bc they never said where they shot these at!
I get the game management side, but the optics of this type of thing are just horrible. Better to not record and publish.
You also have the option of not watching it. 🤷
@@opo3628 just making the observation… I don’t have an issue with managed whaling or seal culling- but discretion is the better part of valor.
@@patrickdean4853exactly they could be poaching them! They never said where the hunt was located
@@opo3628Why do you decide what he does?
@@philseiberling9933 dude, you are missing the point. People like to eat beef but not watch the slaughter.
There's a lot of unsafe gun handling in these African safari vids. It is so unsafe the way they are carrying their rifles. Disgusting and no regard for safety.
Almost makes ya want to avoid Africa eh?

@@jefflacourse3344no reason to kill an ELEPHANT!
Yes because sitting in a stand where you know deer come out every day and when they come out is much harder
Anybody that murders an elephant should be put in prison .

Poachers!!!!!
@@philseiberling9933 not poachers. Hunt was done legally. Poaching is the act of illegal hunting
@@powerhouseexotics Idc there endangered there must be something better then this.
you are so dumb they are doing all legaly
😡😡😡😡🤬
A 10 year old could have made that shot.
Elephants should NOT be killed in this way.
@@jeanjalbert2402 Not Killed. Leave the Elephant be.
the guy whispering is very very annoying; captain obvious speaking a lot of words at critical times

Sickening that this animal is killed!
Yet another reason to hate this kind of thing and the people who do it. You have my unending dislike.
This white folks 😢😢
Bullseye
You know, I think your program should get condemned for hunting wild animals that are on the endangered species list, which is poaching.😠
👍👍👍
Эти люди так глупы, радуются когда уничтожают невинное животное.
