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.

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

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

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.

How do you manage to stumble upon 5 elephants without noticing them? Great hunting sense!

In the big picture...we all have some say in how we're gonna exit this earth. Seems he decided to show his hunted, all these years, a little respect.

Sort of a poetic way to die

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.

Also: Kruger can support 20,000 elephants. Right now, there are 40,000 elephants in the park. And that many will wreck the habitat for other species.

You either have to give the elephants more land to live on or you have to remove the excess (cull).
