It is good to hear 'the other side of this story' - for a change. Often, all we hear is negative - opinions based on hearsay or mere observation of a short video clip & from that input, some - probably me too, are quick to add our own displeasure without any concrete proof of misadventure.
If he was as bad as suggested by some, I seriously doubt be in still be in business.
I've been on the "should I shoot now to backup my hunter, or let him sort it out himself" scenario myself - but not with dangerous game.

Having a charge occurr after the initial shot, would be an interesting position to be in - trust the hunter (whom you've just met) to save both your lives - or not - Hmmmm?

Thanks Mike and John.
