That's how tourists get killed!
You're right!! Naivety or just plain ignorance. Luckily this guy handled the situation pretty good otherwise it could have turned out badly!
That ele has obviously lost all fear of humans. Looks like a situation similar to what happens with bears in the States. Tourists think it is cool to feed the bears and they get habituated to people and eventually become a real nuisance, then someone gets injured or killed.
Agreed that the people in the video did all the right things. That could have been a major disaster. Sadly the next people may not be so lucky.

Hello,
Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
