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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
