- Jeff Rann and Mike Rogers hunt elephant in Botwana's Okavango Delta, and Rann is able to make a perfect close-range shot on an old and massive bull. The two passionate hunters discuss how Botswana is home to the largest population of elephant in the world and how hunting helps manage the wildlife by taking the old bulls out of the herd.

7:32 That’s one of my favorite Trumpet sounds the Elephants make.
Went to Botswana in 84. Hasnt changed his style since.
There's still some elephants to beef with in Botswana.
These dudes with the 80s hairstyles! What an amazing experience, something most of us will never get. Telling the facts of Elephant aging and starvation is information anti hunters would never research on their own.
80s hair is back in.
😂👍
He’s from the 80s. He took a Time Machine to 2024.
@Bradleehage Technically, so am I then too.
Sleeveless safari shirt, nice touch !.
From one PH to another - very professional. I like your ethics.
I wonder how old Jeff Rann is now, May/June 2024. I was born in 1956 (S. Texas) and if I had the money I would book a hunt with him. He has the knowledge and is able to communicate with people and educate people with perfect tone of voice. I look at Jeff's belt and hunting regalia, looks full leather and cotton clothing and the trackers who work for him are perfectly respected and know what he wants them to do on the dangerous hunt with just a touch on the shoulder, I love this. I believe he wears tennis, just in case the double rifle misfires. Husain Bolt would be left behind. I would recommend to Jeff to have a beautiful print/canvas of this hunt with the MASSIVE BULL ELEPHANT made and sold to customers/hunters to put on their walls. Two creatures of God, face to face in the bush.
What's the purpose

that man has balls of steal😁
The person accompanying the PH ( non shooter) was from SCI (HQ Las Vegas). He was there as a guest of the PH,to video-graph the hunter as a “promo for the PH, come SHOW & TELL time at the convention” .
Marketing gimmick of his Safari business!
I must say that this was a "set-up" video, no doubt about it. I came across Jeff Rann in the early 80's when he appeared on several Peter Hathaway Capstick's VHS videos from Ken Wilson's, "Sportsmen on Film" series. A great Professional Hunter, but to actually do the hunting, while the host is implying that he is hunting and never takes a shot is disconcerting. I did hunt an elephant back in 1989 and while both the conditions and Professional Hunter were less than what you see here, it still was a memorable hunt. Not the best, simply memorable.
Odd that the very old elephant has much smaller tusks than those of a hundred years ago.
Handsome guys beautiful voices ❤😊
You definitely are the elephant master! The respect you give and have for animals is an example of a true sportsman. Thank you for representing us like you do.
RESPECT AND THEN YOU KILL THE ANIMAL. ARE YOU A MORON ? WHAT ABOUT IF SOMEONE SHOWED YOU "RESPECT" AND SHOT YOU - ARE YOU OK WITH THAT ???
WOW!
Hunting elephants can be ethically justified when it is conducted as part of a comprehensive wildlife management strategy aimed at population control, environmental protection, and safeguarding local populations. In some regions of Africa, elephant populations have grown to unsustainable levels due to successful conservation efforts and the absence of natural predators. As a result, these large populations can exceed the carrying capacity of their habitats, leading to overgrazing, habitat destruction, and competition with other wildlife species. By implementing controlled hunting programs, authorities can regulate elephant numbers to prevent ecological imbalances and ensure the health of the entire ecosystem.
Elephants are keystone species that play a crucial role in shaping their habitats. However, in areas where their populations are too dense, they can cause extensive damage to vegetation, water sources, and other natural resources. Overgrazing by elephants can lead to habitat degradation, soil erosion, and loss of biodiversity, impacting not only wildlife but also local communities who rely on these resources for their livelihoods. Controlled hunting can help mitigate these impacts by reducing elephant densities to levels that the environment can sustain, allowing vegetation to regenerate and ecosystems to recover.
In regions where elephants and humans coexist, conflicts often arise due to crop raiding, property damage, and threats to human safety. These conflicts can have significant social and economic consequences for local communities, exacerbating poverty and undermining conservation efforts. By managing elephant populations through hunting, authorities can reduce human-elephant conflicts, thereby improving the safety and well-being of local populations. Additionally, revenue generated from hunting permits can be reinvested in community development projects, providing alternative livelihoods and incentivizing local support for conservation initiatives.
Enjoy your videos. BUT PLEASE makes it more enjoyable by mention the rifle caliber and bullet gr. Will appreciate. Hans Strydom. Sandton. South Africa

Watch the video! They literally did!
Watch video to the end .577 nitro express knowledge is power listen and learn..
If a number of elephants are not removed from the herd, they eat everything and most of them starve.
Exactly , just imagine an animal that’s an ungulate( vegetarian) , weighs up to 5 tons. How much foliage will it eat a day??
How much will ten elephants eat a day?
How much will 100 elephants eat a day?
Yes Cinderella there is not enough to prevent COMPLETE habitat loss for elephants and all animals in the savanna.
Never fails antis don’t care about animals only their platform.
AKA , PETA. HSA , etc
I am curious, what does elephant taste like
Chicken.
Elefante
Mammoth.
Kinda taste like a unicorn
Tastes like Elephant
Did you eat of the meat and how was it
After 5 years, only 2 out of 6 tons of meat in freezer left.
Why
Hunting largest elephant 6 tons?
Why did you get to kill it & not the hunter? Or were you the hunter? I thought you were the guide.😐
Whats the name of this ranch?
Its Not a Ranch ist part of Botswanas Conservation Areas where Low class Americans come and destroy our Beautiful Wild Life
2nd comment: Is this a 20,000-pound Bull? And, sorry for being too wordie, but I forgot to give some credit to his .577 double royal, a masterpiece. I saw his video of Jeff giving his son a double rifle, very emotional moment for them and many of us. With all said about Professional Hunters, rifles, bullets, clothing, gun bearers, trackers, nothing can match the magnificence of an Old Warrior African Bull Elephant. If you had never seen one, could you think of such a creature and draw one on paper? All the Glory to the Lord.

Why do Anti-hunters immediately try to denigrate at hunters testosterone level or relate this to sexuality? 😂
In these hunting Safari business, except for BRED IN CAPTIVITY (caged hunts), nothing is fake.

holy shit, look at the size of that fucking thing... african elephants are the size of a bus wtf ????
Most importantly....what happens to the Animal?...Food (meat) distribution to locals, hide and bone to local craftsmen and women to boost local economies, fees to maintain habitat and preservation of the species.............Leather ?
Exactly 💯
He mainly kills because, as with the sick character in the first Dirty Harry movie, HE LIKES IT. The rest is canned cover stories, like pretending Africa has wildlife, not human, overpopulation problems.
@@DefundTheFringes you’ve clearly never been to Africa nor seen the animal populations there. I have. You’re completely wrong.
Educate yourself. @@DefundTheFringes
Oh yes. Behind the scene there is mobile sausage factory and automated boot leather factory for free boots for locals and poor Somalians. I dont know where you and many others lost the mind.

577 Nitro Express, what riffle
How could anyone kill such a beautiful, intelligent animal?
Did you heard the entire video? It's well explained
Yes that's some bs excuse
With a Holland and Holland 577 nitro express.
These old bull elephants are critical to the species. This is senseless and sick
The rest of the herd was probably devastated..😢
Das good
Mature males only join herds during musth. They are solitary, as elephants are a matriarchal society.
Did you not hear the part about slow starvation? Elephants don't like to see each other suffer.
This isn't a Disney movie.
@@billm2078😂
Human change habitat so what are you doing with humna tell us
Are you volunteering to leave the population?
@@mikefranklin1253no we’re volunteering to help you leave it
Very sad...
Если есто деги то делай помощ безобидным жывотным, которые немогут сами себя защетить, а ты истребляеш ради удовольствие, человек хуже твари...
Also pretty chicken shit of them telling us that the " elephant " kiled that tree. Since when do we start declaring war on animals that are born to eat whatever they were adapted to eat, andvwith elephants "trees" happen to be one their foods. They are ones being pushed to eating it by loss of their habitat! Get your head out of your bunghole and smell " life" at its finest. Not what you think it should be
I don't really get the point of shooting this beautiful, magnificent animal, if you're shooting it and plan on eating it that's one thing, but to spot and walk up close to this elephant and kill it for the sake of giving each other high fives, that's not hunting. That's pretty pathetic actually!
Eu não acredito que nos dias de hoje não não haja punição para um crime como este.
He didn't commit a crime.
What a trophy congratulations
Зачем у безобидного жывотнго отнял жызнь, пришол к нему домой и застрелил ради утехи, желаю штоб и так само стобой зделали. Ради удоволствие...

If only life was that simple where a limited environment could support an infinite amount of massive creatures. Responsible humane control is the responsible strategy.
Eliphant penis in the video bigger than my leg 😂
@@imetzl9340yeah you know that's bs for half a million years it all was happening by itself and now these people think they have to intervene
Too much blabla, too little action.
Not sure what is with the negative comments. If you don't like the video, then don't watch it and don't comment. It's like some of these people have a fetish for feeling negative!
The ecosystem do not need no management no help from any man God already got that in place
They’d just go extinct without it. It’s like you people never research anything.
Let him life and Help him for health please. All Elephant is beautiful and like the Family. please please ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🌹🇨🇭🇮🇪🇹🇭💙💙💙
How about you watch the video and learn. The explanation is all there.
Botswana literally has too many.
poor elephant 😢😢😢
That Elephant Fed A Whole Village
For one, it didn’t suffer at all. When one has to be removed, the hunters fee will pay for protection from poachers for several years. Wake up to the truth.
Poor you.
Looks a bit fake when the elephant turns towards him right before getting shot. Also, do they actually get that massive? That dude looks fucking tiny compared to the bull.
That's because of the long telephoto lens. Camera was way further back.
Forced perspective
@@lonebeagleno because tbe bull elephant wss very huge seem like 13 feet nd 8 tonnes . I can bet he was the most dominant male of his area
11 ton
This elephant knows whats going on. How do you think he feels knowing he is about to die
Who cares elephants are afraid to kill us. Thought I doubt an elephant can garner the concept of death
I don’t know what they feel like, none of them have ever talked to me.
So you’d rather it starve to death? That’s pretty cruel.
I really hate this, elephants are a differnt type of creature. Why would you want to kill them?. Sickening
Das hat mit Jagd überhaupt nichts zu tun , das ist eine Hinrichtung aus Geltungsbewusstsein. Ätzend.
Ach so, was ist denn dann eine Jagd?
Plz dont killed 😥😥😥😥😥
You piss me off, did you even watch the video???
Disgusting
Humans..evil
Yea, but not for this. These guys stimulate the local economy and protect and preserve the habitat
it's called Murder
says the one who supports abortion
Nah, it’s called hunting.
The laughing made this totally disgusting
Why kill an elephant in the first place
killing a innocent animal then feeling happy so shamful , even a child can hit at such big shot
That Elephant Fed A Whole Village
You haven t a clue
Vc se sente feliz quando faz um churrasco? Se vc não sabe um animal teve que morrer para alimentar vc
This video practice should be banned . Why are they killing them, just for a stupid hunt practice. It is too cruel
Watch the video
Beyond sad, pathetic
Your existence? Yes.
@@JackGorton1960s clearly just has a soul...where as you: pond life

Ok so you want the elephant to suffer then? You clearly didn't watch the video.
It‘s a business buddy. Some people pay for dangerous game a lot of money.
Why are you shooting the elephants now you’re shooting everything they’re shooting turkeys they’re shooting out there shooting most. They’re shooting bears. They’re shooting even the elephant. Oh my God leave them alone.
sooo shameful
So virtuous!! Taking an emaciated old bull out of the herd, quickly, rather than a slow starvation is RESPONSIBLE!! The meat goes to multiple local villages and provides direly needed protein for months!!! The hides become leather for local craftsmen to create objects and sell to boost their income to provide for their families!! Not one thing SHAMEFUL about THAT!! EDUCATE YOURSELF!!!
@@wiseguysoutdoors2954
He does not look emaciated.
If he dies in nature other animals will make use of it
@@sharmana100😂 you’re clueless
Hunting for fun is haram in Islam, just so you know
