Some contries like Zimbabwe has tuskless elephant hunts that can be set up through the safari companies. The cost of the elephant hunt is about the same as a buffalo hunt. Other countries like Tanzania the government is the only ones to control problem animals.

Having a bull elephant close from 35 yards down to 20 will change your perspective on life. I was a little more frightend when we came across a herd of 4 elephants that also had a calf at 30 yards.

The White rhino in South Africa have stable populations and a few are hunted. In most other coutries they are not doing very well
