There is no elephant hunt in this video, no ethical hunter (or anyone with any intelligence) would shoot an elephant in the leg anyway. There is no field dressing on camera. I'm afraid the previous reviewer is party to the anti-hunting sentiment. Instead, this is a great collection of hunts. I only wish it were even longer; my hubby and I watched it twice. The only complaint I have (and this goes for any hunting video) is the obvious 'acting' with the hunter at his post, or trailing the game...you know, the stuff they film after the quarry is down that they didn't get a chance to do while it was actually happening. Other than that, very enjoyable to watch for anyone who enjoys the outdoors and the thrill of the chase.

This is the point, they shoot an elephant, in the leg with a .25-06 Remington, then I thought: I am missing something! In the leg! And the animal dies! Well I think it is all computer make deaths, they only use Savage and Remington rifles, come on, who uses this kind of crap to hunt? Second, they exchange Winsconsin by Australia and vice-versa frequently, so I have a question: Do the habitants of these cities commute every day? Second, They do not use the common orange suit for rifle camouflage as traditional in other movies like Prime Time Bucks. They do the field dressing right, as disgusting as it can be, they focus the intestines of the animal for 12 minutes strait and keep making short shots of this ugly parts during the remaining 6 hunts, so you really cannot get rig of the images. Finally, I liked as we enjoy low budget horror movies, after a while it is just funny. I think half odf the deaths are not real, by the way (I call it elephant effect).
