Ivory
Found this online. Funny but sick.

Nice head shot though.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

IMO that shot was too high, unless the hunter was in a tree shooting down.

Looks photoshopped to me.

Clearly an immature Elephant.

I'm just sayin' ....

I seem to recall from Buzz's DVD that 500grains had a similar shot opportunity from above, on a hillside over the elephant.

So we do have a video reference!

The author clearly states that the elephant charged and that he had little recourse but to shoot.

Ok, maybe, but that doesn't explain cutting the ivory out.

I used to read the story of Babar to my kids. But it wasn't this one!
