Should I Feel BAD About Shooting an ELEPHANT? - With Corey Knowlton

from Pursuit With Cliff - Cliff Gray · host Cliff Gray

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 emotionallyThe Jim Shockey years: how those shows actually got madeElephant overpopulation and why management has to happenHow to plan an elephant hunt: heat, full moons, tracks, and judging old bullsDouble rifles vs. bolt actions — and why the front trigger comes firstWhy hunters will end hunting themselves, not anti-hunters---FOLLOW CLIFFYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGrayInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliffPursuit With Cliff Podcasthttps://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/Hunt.
