There have seen a few good videos of what happens after the Elephant is down. Where the whole village turns out to get there share of the meat. At the end nothing much remains. Can you fellow AR members provide some links or videos or whatever it called so I can show these to some of my non-hunting friends. If your parents didn't have any children chances are you won't either. | ||

No problem, Dave. Not a video, but the photos tell the story. Come And Get It Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Zambezi Extreme by Charlton McCallum Safaris. www.cmsafaris.com The butchering scene is beyond belief. Knives and meat flying everywhere. Kathi kathi@wildtravel.net 708-425-3552 "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." | |||

I've taken several elephants in communal areas. It is amazing how fast the jungle telegraph works. You may track an elephant(s) for several days and never see a person, but when you shoot, within minutes a hundred joyous folks appear, singing and laughing. They will be of all ages, sex and conditions of dress (mostly rags) and be carryig makeshift knives, axes, buckets and bags to carry meat. Starving dogs arrive hoping for a scrap. An English speaker at one of the butcherings told me (it was then mid-March) that the elephant was the first meat some of the folks would have had since November. If you are brave enough to watch 100 folks attack the carcass, you are braver than I am. More blades flying than at the local club on "L" Street.      JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous. | |||

I have only killed one Elephant 2 yrs ago in Binga and it was the most effecient distribution of meat. A line of about 100 women and childeren with containers ranging from pots to scarfs awaited the butchering. The line was orderly and anyone trying to jump the line was properly moved to the rear. When the process was completed the only sign of a killing and butchering was blood stained earth. The same was true a few days earlier at the butchering of my Hippo. I was happy to feed two different villages. | |||

A single elephant feeds a camp or village for about 3 weeks. Not one single scrap of meat is wasted. I was really impressed when they butchered my tuskless, and the care they took with it. You can see how it is cared for in the picture below.  | |||

is that the intestines strung up to dry? or do they butcher it out in strips versus steaks? Red | |||

That is not intestines it is biltong(african jerkey) This is what the intestines look like.  And every bit of this is taken and used, only thing left behind was what was inside the intestines. | |||
