Elephants are huge and strong. They will trample anything in their way. They will tear through fence lines. Occasionally they will go on a rampage if they feel threatened. A female elephant that senses her calf is threatened will do anything to protect it. Sometimes villages will experience the wrath. I love elephants but they are not always slow, kind, gentle creatures. ---

The first day, I shot two bucks. That was the biggest game we had. ---

So true. We normally excuse animals for killing persons. The animal doing _animal things_ is an excuse. A good one? You decide. We have deer hunters killed every year by deer. Who, it seems have had enough of these monkey men shooting at them 🤔… Then I remember the two deer who tried to kill me. I decided they had a hit out on me. Damn those mafioso deer! No they didn’t. They tried to cross the road I was driving on and I didn’t see them. Smacked both and nearly was killed. I was in their way. I was encroaching. They were minding their own business doing _deer things_. I still hate them. Painful 3 years will do that to a person. (I realize I’m collateral damage in a big hunting area) ---

Even when you are gentle, just being that big and strong still makes you dangerous. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > (I am talking to you, you nasty feral hogs!) Maybe Arkansas Fish & Game could start a campaign on how tasty they are when they’re BBQ’d right and charge hefty fees to hunt them. Kind of like [_King Rat_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Rat_(Clavell_novel)), only bigger. > King decides he and his friends should breed [rats](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat) to sell for food. His comrades, though nearly starving themselves, are repelled by the idea of eating [rat meat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_meat), so King comes up with the plan of only selling the meat to officers without telling them the true source. A group of officers who stole money from their underlings are later seen greedily enjoying a meal of what they are told is [mouse deer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_mouse-deer) (_rusa tikus_ in Malay), not knowing they are actually eating rat meat. ---

Not even safe to butcher. No one I know would eat a feral hog. Wild hog is a different beast. I believe they are rare. Anymore. Feral hogs have killed, over bred and run off what was here decades ago. ---
