I watch the African big game hunts on TV and have become disillusioned with what is called a "hunt". What they do is drive on a well worn trail until a herd of the desired game is spotted. Get out, walk about 50 yards, set up a tripod rest for the so-called 'hunter' and he shoots an animal. For a similar challenge I could shoot cows in a pasture. Elephants are often shot from a range of under 25 yards. Still, a big gun is required. It looks like .416 is very popular.
