I think it is up to you to make sure the PH knows what is expected of him and when
and it should all be discussed before you go out. He may have his rules when
hunting DG, especially elephant.

When I went after a large Buffalo here in the middle of a swamp,
the PH knew he could fire if it was going to get away after my couple of shots.

The only question the PH asked me was what did I want to do if the buffalo
charged - unprovoked - which was a likely reaction as we were going to and
did get very close (30 yards).

I said to the PH to start shooting and I'll step to one side and start shooting as well
and hopefully he'll stop before he flattens us !!! The PH smiled.

Luckily we had hunted with each other before but we both knew exactly what
each of us was to do in any situation.
