Botswana's Greatest Elephant Hunts

A collection of hunters undertaking one of the great challenges of big game hunting as they travel to Botswana to pursue the enormous and regal elephant. Botswana is home to the largest population of elephant in the world and hunting helps manage the wildlife by taking old bulls out of the herd and generates revenue for the local economies, creating a tangible incentive to deter poaching.

The fees that hunters pay are saving the elephants. That’s just a fact.

66 foot bowhead whale. 66 tons. Greatest hunt in humankinds history.

[@shuayb06]

I am really impressed by these dangerous game hunters. Their ethos and craftsmanship deserve respect.

[@dbx1233]

You are spot on. LEGAL hunting provides benefits too numerous to list. Your comment may be sarcasm but either way, only an ignorant person believes hunting as bad. My old buddy, who was a caveman, never said much. One of the few things he ever said was, " Hunting good, meat yum, yum and fire hot." For a caveman, the dude was a genius.

[@bigal25938]

poaching is illegal, hunting is not. Poaching is activity that is against the law.

Why people can't let this beautiful animal live free. I shocked seeing this video.

[@Ambelica]

Hey I love elephants too, but they take a HUGE amount of forage , they have few natural predators. So they can overpopulate and that leads to starvation for the elephants themselves

[@Rob-i6q]

Its all about greedy money pro hunter's

[@Yadmeister2255]

Its a mog or be mogged world

[@epicoverlandbw]

I am from Botswana and a proud motswana. We live with elephants and they roam freely. The problem is we also have a huge amount of them and if their population is not managed, amongst other things, poachers will take advantage and kill elephants for ivory and that will have negative impact on our Tourism industry

[@karimmoorad9649]

Its population control, Botswana has over 130k and they are destroying the habitat. Botswana has reserved 40% of its land for these wild animals. If they dont control the numbers, then protecting them will become difficult.

[@Bhartrampf]

Is Botswana still closed?

[@drup2013]

Yes. Still is, a smaller number of elephants for hunting though..

[@Bhartrampf]

​@@drup2013 why did they close it? And just to elephant hunting, or everything?

[@drup2013]

@@Bhartrampf The former administration succumbed to pressure from photographic safari lovers and closed. The new administration opened a bit but with smaller quotas but is under pressure to shut again. So far it's elephants and a few plain animals

These hunts will set you back a few bucks but they are worth every penny. But if a hunter is not allowed to keep the tusks, why bother? (Are hunters allowed the tusks?)

[@morenamcguy7537]

This is actually sickening

[@Balance2097]

What a coward.

[@PeterJohnson76]

This makes me sick. Thise hunters are beyond deprived

[@ht5727]

The fees they pay provide funding to conserve the elephants and their habitat. The Delta like many other places in Africa actually struggles with elephants overpopulating, and if that happens they end up destroying their own environment and the habitats of the other species being conserved. So the hunters assist with and pay for population control. Furthermore meat from most of these safaris goes to local communities which provides them with an incentive to look after the elephants and other game, it makes them more willing to report poachers and assist the rangers in these areas. Many Europeans and Americans know next to nothing about how conservation, especially in Africa actually works, but have the guts to think they can tell Africa what to do.

[@ea3fishing480]

You shoot the elephant now what

[@Matty18795]

The meat will sometimes be collected and sold later. If not it will feed 100s of other animals living in the area. Nothing gets wasted in nature

[@Matty18795]

They are hunting mostly elder males which will have no major impact on population numbers in the long term. 1 young Bull elephant can reproduce with multiple females per year which produces many offspring whereas the elder males mate less often.
