Dexerto – A Vineyard tycoon millionaire and big-game hunter has died after being trampled by five elephants during a hunting trip in Central Africa.

Ernie Dosio, a 75-year-old vineyard owner from California, was killed while hunting in Gabon’s Lope-Okanda rainforest, according to reports. Dosio had reportedly been stalking a yellow-backed duiker, a small forest antelope, when the group came across the elephants.

The herd, said to include five female elephants and a calf, was reportedly startled by the hunters’ presence and charged. Dosio was killed in the attack, while his professional guide was seriously injured.

Animals were just doing some trophy hunting of their own.

I don’t love or hate trophy hunting but I also don’t pity somebody who gets killed by big game either.

I have no respect for trophy hunting. If you don't plan on eating it, don't kill it. Sounds like the elephants did their own trophy hunting.

Have you ever been to Africa? Nothing goes to waste. Either the hunters eat it or the villagers

Not a fan of the whole trophy hunting thing, but at least he was doing it the right way and actually tracking/hunting through the jungle as opposed to shooting from a helicopter at somebody’s ranch.

There is great elk hunting in Kentucky and no elephants. Lot’s of good meat on an elk.

As long as the elephant eats him and didn’t kill him for sport I’m good. Head trophy on the wall would be good as well.

Africa is not the United States.

Without people paying to hunt and giving land owners a reason to protect the animals for profit, almost every animal in Africa would be dead and eaten by the locals.
