Unethical elephant hunt to be investigated

I watched the video before I knew there was a flap about it, no clue. My only take was that it didn't appear that either of the hunters had a brain much larger than a pea! Just from the danger standpoint. You cannot outrun a determined elephant. They could easily have become as Capstick once said about a deadly encounter with something. "the hunter was mixed up with enough top soil to start a modest tomato farm!" I don't see the ethical issue, and agree Namibia is getting a bit gun shy about publicity.
 
I presume if you shot an Eland or Gemsbok bull, Springbuck ram out of the herd on the open plains it would also be unethical. What utter nonsense.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
