Elephant hunting to resume in Botswana

[Irrelevant]

Sounds like they're actually on the right track for actual conservation. I could certainly understand the frustration of local farmers if instead of elk and deer eating my crops I had a herd of elephants get into the corn patch.

I try to keep up with news on African hunting not because I could ever go there, but because in the mind of much of the public it epitomizes what they don't like about hunting, yet from a conservation standpoint African hunting obviously a big net positive.

NYT didn't do very well.
