Lodi Grape Grower Killed by Elephants During African Hunting Trip
Ernie Dosio, a 75-year-old grape grower from Lodi, California, was tragically killed during a hunting expedition in Gabon, Central Africa. Dosio was tracking a species of antelope in the Lope region when he encountered a herd of elephants. The elephants charged through dense brush, trampling and killing him. The Lope region is known for its large elephant population, estimated at 95,000, with elephants capable of reaching speeds up to 25 miles per hour. Dosio was an experienced hunter who had made several trips to Africa. His death has shocked his community and friends, who remember him for his humanitarian work and generosity.
