Don't call her "Bwana"

Um...that's a whole lotta woman.
Female hunter Teressa Groenewald-Hagerman has become the first woman in the world to shoot an elephant dead with a bow and arrow.

The woman, from Kansas, was inspired to go on the safari after being challenged by a male friend who said women could never draw such a heavy bow.

She worked out for four hours a day for eight months to be able to draw the huge PSE XF Bow big enough to kill the majestic creature.
Impressive, no doubt. But me? I'm lazy. Give me a day to practice with an AS50 and I could probably get you an elephant, too.

This huntress was found on The Telegraph via Boing Boing (which doesn't seem pleased with her taking, despite that it fed a village of 500 in Mugabe-ravaged Zimbabwe).

2 ramblings:

WTF! Killing the Heffalumps is not ok.

If Milne didn't want us to eat the heffalumps he woulda told Pooh not to dream him out of meat.

Or something.
