50.BMG....overkill for Elephants?????

DON'T get me started on elephant jokes.
You know what Charles DeGaul said when he saw an elephant coming down the path?
"Voilas le elephante down le path!"
You know what the elephant said when he saw Charles DeGaul?
Nothing. He didn't speak French.
I have a hundred more.
You must be a child of the '60s?

When DelRock83 made the joke about baiting elephants and them climbing trees to get to his peanuts, I just couldn't help.myself.
 
Hunter Habib you never cease to amaze.

We all think shooting an elephant with the 50BMG to be a ridiculous idea.

And you have actually done it :cool:

I’m happy I was able to get your autobiography


Now after hearing of your 50 cal. Endeavors.

I’m sure there has to be stories of elephants being shot with large military sub cannon calibers during the many wars in Africa. I’m sure the current terrorists with Technical trucks shoot them on sight.
 
You can never have “too” much gun.
Well don't know about that after listening to Kevin Robertson on the big game hunting pod cast :329 tell the story of a hunter that reloaded his 500nitro express A square.
When he went to test the stuff if there where no spare shooting benches at the range. So he used the bonnet of his land-cruiser. When he pulled the trigger he blew in the windscreen and dislocated his rotator cuff. 1 shot lol have a listen its a good laugh.
 
What do an elephant and a grape have in common?

They’re both purple, except for the elephant

The thought came from an episode of Keith Warren's show where he took a giraffe with a custom 50.BMG
 
.50 BMG, nah, that´s for sissies, give me the old M79 in 40mm :E Lol:
 
Is this overkill ?

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France
