Big game hunter dies when shot elephant falls on him

A well-known South African game hunter died after an elephant ravaged by gunshots collapsed on him at a Zimbabwe animal reserve on Friday, according to local authorities.
While on a 10-day hunting expedition with several clients, 51-year-old big game hunter Theunis Botha "unknowingly" came across a herd of breeding elephants near the Hwange National Park, park spokesman Simukai Nyasha told the Associated Press.
Botha's group spooked the herd and three elephant cows immediately charged at them — prompting Botha to open fire on the animals, according to South Africa's News24.
A fourth stormed at the group from the side, lifting Botha up with its trunk. One of the members of the group fired shots at the elephant causing the animal to collapse on Botha, crushing him to death.
Damn Karma, you scary.

I am an avid hunter, but I've never understood hunting elephants. Same goes for the big cats. If I'm not going to eat it, I'm not going to shoot it.

I'm going to go with OK that this happened. Hunting elephants isn't sporting at all.

And that's why you never walk into an elephant orgy.

I don't blame the locals who make a living doing this, so long as it is done with wildlife population preservation/conservation in mind.
I do think people who will pay thousands to go on a canned hunt are lame as frick, though.
