It all depends on how long the white elephant has been free to roam the area and if a group of nameless people on the Internet say it's ok.

Isn't a white elephant when some upstanding person offers you a great invetment with 100% return?

Not really my kind of place to hunt.
White Elephant
But, these guys, without a doubt! Perfect place to get lost on a hunt for that last piece of gear.

Hey Jaco, you made a funny! Well done.

I'm not so sure the people of Burma or Thailand would share your sense of humour if you did bag a white elephant though. Though I ain't so sure that they're really all that 'white'.

Walt Disney reckoned he could make them fly so perhaps driven elephant shooting or elephant over pointers might be a good idea! LOL

The only point of shooting a white Elephant would be to get a full mount and I could never afford that, so I would let it walk

If the white elephant is a "messenger from God" someone gonna get hurt when one falls from heaven.
When I am not hunting, I am thinking about hunting....I think I'll go hunting.

I suppose hunting a 'white elephant' would put you in the same category as hunting the 'black sheep'...but there again it'll also depend as to what family pedigree he's from!! But shame guys....they're both just unwanted and unloved!!
