Professional hunter Ian Gibson died after a young bull elephant charged, then knelt on him and crushed him to death.early on Wednesday.  Mr Gibson, 55, one of Zimbabwe’s best known big game hunters, died scouting for prey in the Zambezi Valley

“We don’t yet know the full details of how ‘Gibbo’ as we called him, died, as the American client and the trackers are still too traumatised to give us full details,” said Paul Smith, managing director of Chifuti Safaris’ which employed Mr Gibson for the hunt.

Mr. Gibson was contracted to a one legged American hunter who  has only one leg.  The American is, nonetheless said to be  “fit and strong” and had already shot a leopard.

The report doe snot mention the fate of the elephant.

    Are there one-legged hunters who do not have only one leg? A deer blew its nose on him?

    ” … a one legged American hunter who has only one leg.”

    I suspect all one legged hunters have only one leg, regardless of their nationality.
