She is QUEEN of the safari, bitches!

You have to be pretty accurate to hit an elephant from 12 yards.

Well, it was blind and chained to a post, so it wasn't going far.

 

[Gatorubet]

Very impressed that she let the thing to die overnight, rather than finishing him off.

Well, they had started martinis over at the next tent, so it would have been bloody rude to the Throckmortons not to accept their invitation...

 

[Folanator]

Nope, non-impressed. Kinda reminds me of the chick from NY that short-roped her way to the top of Mount Everest.

I hunt, but also I think idiots that kill endangered species have serious childhood issues.

Oh, there are plenty of Elephants out there.

I think that is great, seriously. Conservation is the way to go. But I am guessing that the picture is not so rosey outside of SA.

It's weird, I have no problem with hunting birds. But I cannot think of why I would ever kill a big top-of the food chain animal like a bear or elephant. I just don't see the point.

Oh, I never would either.

And, I have no idea what this woman paid for the permit, I'd presume it was big money, but, I know that for other game (at least), it's a big money maker for these some of these countries to be able to continue to administrate these things....

 

[Ttown]

Now I'm impressed.

It's the male lion isn't it?

For me, he's the mane attraction, and the best looking tail in the picture. :tongue2:

I just wish the one in the back yard would cut down the racket so I could get some work done...

 

[Bucklion]

Yeah, not really seeing the bad-assed-ness here. A real hunter kills the prey with a killshot (after the initial shot if necessary) and doesn't let it bleed to death over a period of hours.

 

[scarletandgrey]

If this was done by a male it would get little or no recognition. All the hype here is more about the hunter being female. Sorry to be offensive, I'm not trying to be sexist but that is just the nature of the situation.

I personally find no interset in the article no matter what kind of weapon was used or the gender of the hunter.

 

[jlb1705]

I read somewhere that President Gee killed an elephant with his bow.

Definitely more impressive.

I actually think it's commendable scUM sends their cheerleaders to South Africa to train.

I agree totally about the bad move of letting it bleed to death instead of going up and finishing it off. I'm still impressed by the training and time it took for her to get strong enough to be able to draw the size bow it seems it would take to get a single arrow into an elephant deep enough even for it to bleed out. It's a pretty major wound, if not a true single killing stroke.

Not offensive at all, you are totally correct, had it been a male it would have no interest for me either. Men do it all the time. Women, not so much. So yea, it is all about the gender in this case. No denying that one.

Don't call me a bitch, skank.
