There is a reason why you hunt with a licensed PH when hunting dangerous game. If an experienced PH feels that a back up shot is necessary, that is his professional judgement. It is something to speak to them about before the hunt commences.

This is why you practise shooting these cannons before you go over. To reduce the possibility of such a requirement. In Cazadero's case, he did nothing wrong and the PH did what he felt was required to stave off a dangerous tracking job. Teamwork.

These animals are tough. If you are hunting with an experienced PH, he will probably be a conservative sort. Brinkmanship is not a trait that I want in a PH. Some of the YouTube fiascos and the Death by Double (et cetera) nonsense makes me angry that the Antis are fed this garbage and we have to defend our sport in this light.
