"On the Ground Conservation" - Anti-hunting keyboard warriors will never understand why hunting an old (past breeding age) elephant cow in so important - they're too busy being offended.
Africa was once an island of people inside a sea of animals. Over the past century, that dynamic as completely flipped. Wide open spaces have shunk as the demand for more farming and ranching have increased. Wild aninals have been pushed into smaller and smaller land areas. These wild game parks and land concessions are crucial to wildlife but they still have a finite carrying capacity (food & water) for the amount animals their habitat can sustain. Too many large animals in a single area leads to a natural foliage destruction effecting all wildlife in that area. By hunting old non-breeding animals, hunters make room for younger breeding aninals to use the limited natural resources available. This gives the breeding population the opportunity to raise more healthly offspring - perpetuating the species.
GrizzlyStik is proud to outfit bowhunters doing there part to help conserve future generations of elephants. For this elephant cow hunt we built Corey Schaefer a 1100 grain footed Momentum TDT tapered arrow tipped with an Alaskan 315 broadhead. Shot from a 95# bow, it only took a single 30% FOC GrizzlyStik to put this cow on the ground.
