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 guess they decided against using the term "elephant orgy".

That elephant is probably taking a ton of shite on Elephantbook about killing and posing with a defenseless human.
