Safari company co-owner killed by elephant....

This is marked 4 days old so if it has appeared here before apologies. It may be of interest if not. Would a revolver have seen off an elephant?

i think if you popped him with a hand gun, he would just kill you two times.
 
https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/so...lephant-tramples-veteran-wildlife-tour-guide/ It sounds like he had a pistol and tried to scare an angry cow (but didn't shoot it.) He also got off the car at sundown for some reason? Maybe a .500 S&W (w/ that massive brake) would've done the trick one way or the other, but I'd rather have a stopping rifle (as many do!) RIP Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure we hear of such things in Parks very often, but the Klaserie reserve allows hunting, is unfenced and adjacent to Kruger, so apparently the ele has felt threatened before...They'll be watching that cow like a hawk now! It's almost always the cows (with calves) you have to watch out for, but I've seen a fair number of charges by young bulls (in cow/calf herds).
 
Very tragic and sad. RIP.
 
Condolences to the family.

Those elephants are something else!
 
Sad but happens sadly ......DG is named for a reason....m
 
Absolutely horrible. May God/Allah grant him an eternity in Heaven/Jannat.
 
My condolences....this past 18 months seems to have had a higher than usual number of tragedies.

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.
I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
