Ultimate level of stupidity to kill innocent animals. Did he come to your home to harm you.
I would appreciate it if you would take a moment at the end of these videos to discuss where each bullet penetrated and what tissue damage was done.

This is why you don't use a scope to hunt elephant. Amateur. His scope was not set for such close range. He's lucky he wasn't killed, had the elephant charged.... all bad.

A 1-X scope is perfectly allowable and smart, if you can't see your iron sights properly. Properly zeroed, you'll place that bullet more precisely with a scope than without. If there was an issue here, I'd put it on calibre and/or bullet weight and construction.

Elephants, like EVERY other species, need their numbers to be controlled so they don't over compete for dwindling food sources, thus ensuring their specie survival. Legal sport hunting is a recognised (and accepted) effective game management strategy across Africa. The carcass - like everything else in Africa - is given FREE to feed the local community (as there's NO Social security or welfare paid out anywhere in Africa).
Leave elephants alone ! You should go to jail for a long time if you harm one .
Stop posting these without mentioning the rifle caliber and bullet used!!!!!

It may just be me but as you get older seeing things die for sport is not something I want to see. I know we kill animals to eat etc. and even that is harder to justify but it is how we survive. I have seen to many examples of animals that tell me they know more and feel more than you think. I could never take down such an animal as that….
So sad...
You killed that Beautiful, majestic elephant on the sole basis of patting each other on the back and giving your buddies a high-five. Killed the elephant, took pictures, tusks were taken to be sold on the black market, departed the area leaving mega-tons of elephant meat to rot????
Never hunted African game, but wondering why the hunter used a scope?! Anything within 100 yards...would much rather use iron sights with better peripheral.
That was one tough elephant!!
I wonder if it legal to take an elephant with a Serbu- BFG 50? it has twice the ft lbs that my 416 Rigby has
Shooting sticks at 5 yards… I’d be ashamed of myself for being such a level of non hunter.
Lesser hunters should not do this tours.
Magnificent animal! Man's a natural destroyer. Was that the actual bull they were looking for?

So are elephants. They periodically have to be culled as they raze the countryside, destroying all the trees and vegetation. You Disney folks take a look and say "Oh, that's so cute!" and that's what you base your logic on. As for your question, no, it wasn't, but, it was taking on a definite threatening posture and committing everyone to the inevitable outcome.

The hunter had his rifle sighted in at a distance greater that the target actually was. At such close range the scope becomes inaccurate. The shot was definitely low. Poor preparation, just bad ethics, bad practice, lesson learned.

Scopes become inaccurate at closer ranges, the distance they sighted it in at was greater than 5 yards, therefore the scope was inaccurate, it has happened to me so it’s not uncommon, also elephants have hard and thick skin, you also have the skull to deal with therefore a bullet would struggle to penetrate

They have to shoot these animals because they are over populated in that particular zone, causing too many damages to their environment, if they let these animals, in some time they all will die, that zone can't feed more elephants... That's studied, it's science... Also the money that the hunter pays for that elephant, comes back to the environment with anti poach and conservative works... You will find that the countrys that allow hunting have way more animals than the ones that don't allowed it
