Just thought the same thing hawkenbob...  The guy would be shooting at an upward angle so the arrow may enter low but its trajectory could put it right into the brain...

And Jackelope, is the brain really that small on an ele like in that second picture you posted????   :yike:

Only small in comparison to the beast it resides in. Still bigger than a humans by far.

I really hope he had a much better plan B than 2 extra arrows!

I watched a guy hunting an elephant with a bow on some tv show a coupla years back and the way the PH told him to do it was walk straight at the elephant until it started charging then slip an arrow into the front of his skull and sidestep so he didnt get taken out, the guy shot it right in the brain and the elephant still ran a good 40 feet before it dropped, those big animals can do some amazing things sometimes
