In the video above, Makris, wearing the brown safari hat, can be seen tracking the elephant, taking aim and shooting it twice. The large animal trumpets, and Makris and his guide retreat to reload.
"Somebody got a little cheeky there," he says, chuckling after the elephant stormed in their direction. Makris then raises his rifle up again and shoots it "between the eyes."
In the next scene, he and his guide stand next to the dead elephant and talk about how they snuck right into its "bedroom" to kill it. The next clip shows the group sipping from champagne glasses, as the guide talks about the "special" act of bringing the elephant's ivory back to camp.

(14,400 posts)the hard part of something like this would be missing the goddamned thing.
They bring you into an area that looks like a large section of savanna but they don't let you go anywhere near the fences that actually keep the animals in pretty good check. Add to that the way they herd the animal into an area where it can be shot but providing easy egress in case the gutless fucker doing the shooting can't bring it down.
I hate these types of gutless safaris.
Feeling like a Big Man for shooting down something herded.
No actual hunting included, he's better off just going to a gun range with life sized animal models.

(20,805 posts)...there is no point, whatsoever, in "sport" hunting...if you don't eat it, don't kill it...
