I wish that Jumbo would have stomped that moron into a fine paste... get a freaking rest and learn how to shoot. "Wow... what a stong elephant, ehhhh"... no... what a schitty shot, ehhhhh.

It didn't look like he settled down to make a good first shot.  The angle that the elephant was at on the first shot was practically straight away.

I figured Phool would be all over this one? I think he shot 10 times? I didn't count them. I read once a guy shot nine times in rapid succession at a Hippo and it broke his molar in half!!!  :yike:

Remember elephants may have a huge head, but it is a very tiny window to get to the brain.  The hardest part is determining where the aiming spot is.  The PH told him to shoot the first time.  I agree, the follow-ups were too hurried.It would be interesting to learn where all the slugs from his head shots ended up.
