Trophy Hunter.
Trophy hunter kills Botswana's biggest 'tusker' elephant with ivory weighing 200lb after paying $50,000 for the 'privilege' - sparking fury from country's former president
A professional trophy hunter shot and killed the largest 'tusker' elephant in Botswana after paying $50,000 to join a hunt. Botswanan hunter Leon Kachelhoffer said he killed the big tusker, which was carrying 200lb (91kg) of ivory, on the country's northern border with Namibia. The elephant (pictured slain) was in its early-50s and killed with a single shot, a hunting industry spokesperson confirmed. There are only 40 'hundred pounder' tusker elephants with at least one tusk weighing 100lb left roaming in Africa. A second elephant weighing 90lb was also killed during the lucrative hunt. Kachelhoffer reposted a Facebook story describing his controversial conquest (pictured inset) and appeared on a podcast to explain the hunt. He told Blood Origins host Robbie Kroger that he did not expect a controversy to arise. Kachelhoffer laughed and said: 'That wasn't one of the things I was thinking about.' He added: 'To be in a position to hunt a bull like that, it's an incredible privilege.'
