Should I Feel BAD About Shooting an ELEPHANT? - With Corey Knowlton
transcript
show notes
I sit down with Corey Knowlton, one of the most experienced international hunters alive, to talk elephant hunting, North American hunting and double rifles. From there we dig into the Jim Shockey era of hunting TV, why North American trophy hunting opportunity is never coming back, and why a $30,000 archery elk hunt makes almost no sense when you look at what that money buys in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, or Tanzania.
In this episode:
Why it's easy to win the elephant argument logically — and impossible emotionally
The Jim Shockey years: how those shows actually got made
Elephant overpopulation and why management has to happen
How to plan an elephant hunt: heat, full moons, tracks, and judging old bulls
Double rifles vs. bolt actions — and why the front trigger comes first
Why hunters will end hunting themselves, not anti-hunters
