Ernie Dosio, Vinmeyard Owner, Dies in Elephant Stampede

Ernie Dosio, a 75-year-old Lodi-area vineyard owner, industry leader, and big-game hunter, was killed last Friday while hunting yellow-backed duiker antelope in Gabon’s Lope-Okanda rainforest, as the Guardian reports.

Dosio’s group startled a herd of five female elephants and a calf, causing the animals to charge them, and Dosio was fatally trampled. His guide was also seriously injured.
