Excellent story.
I agree with it 100%
Several times in Zim we would "turn a corner" while hunting other game and elephants would be right there, "danger close". Many times this happened when hunting plains game with my 9,3x74R double. When it did I would immediately, and SILENTLY load 2 Woodleigh Solids, and we would back away from the elephants.
I felt a lot more comfortable when this happened with my 450 No2 in my hands.

I think anyone who hunts DG owes it to the people around him to carry an adequate gun, and have practiced enough to have the skill to use it.
