American millionaire and trophy hunter Ernie Dosio, 75, has died after a fatal encounter with elephants in Gabon, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Dosio, a California vineyard owner and father of two, was on a $40,000 guided hunting trip in the Lope-Okanda rainforest targeting a small antelope when a herd of five female elephants with a calf reportedly charged at him and his guide.<\/p>\n

The safari operator confirmed his death. The professional hunter accompanying him survived but was seriously injured.<\/p>\n

Dosio also owned Pacific AgriLands Inc., managing thousands of acres of vineyard land in California. U.S. officials are now working to return his remains home.<\/p>\n

African elephants can weigh up to six tons and are considered both vital to ecosystems and highly endangered in some regions, including Gabon, which holds a large forest elephant population.<\/p>\n

He was described by friends as a \u201cgood old country boy,\u201d a conservation-minded hunter, and a generous supporter of charitable causes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
