I don't want anyone else's bullet in my animal, and one of the things I ask BEFORE BOOKING is when the PH would shoot, if at all. I do not intend to book a hunt with a PH who is going to "back me up" or "help me out" unless the animal is charging and within 5 or 6 feet of me (or him or endangering a tracker). Unfortunately there are some PH's who are just as enthusiastic about pulling the trigger as the client, and I do not want any part of that. Fortunately there are some highly professional PH's who pride themselves on finding the game and getting the client into a position for a shot, rather than assisting with the actual trigger pulling. If a PH wants to pull the trigger, he is free to book an elephant hunt for himself or to take advantage of one of the crop raiders.

Those are my feelings on the subject.
