Of the many, many books I have read about elephant hunting, nary a one does not relate at least one near death experience. I guess the guys that got killed found it tough to write much!

A PH is a good thing to have along, to baby sit. I would be dead (no cheering please) if the PH, Doug Carlisle, hadn't been there to frighten off a ele cow that was coming while I was otherwise occupied.

There is a big difference between hunting DG by yourself and with a PH, or someone.
