That's a good one about the location of their organs!

Speaking as the tourist-hunter that I am, I have no problem with the PH entering the fray if I have have screwed up and not brained or at least knocked the elephant down. I have no interest in losing an elephant.

I'm not sure what is meant about the point of trying a frontal brain shot as opposed to the side brain shot, which is much easier, in my opinion.

I've had the PH shoot twice. Once when I was suppose to wait until the PH shot first during an unprovoked charge in which "I" had to enter the fray because the PH didn't get it done. And once when I took a shot that I shouldn't have, and the PH had to bring it down (a situation I will "never" repeat).

But the PH shouldn't tell the client he isn't going to shoot, regradless, when in fact he will, most of the time (see, I didn't say "always") if the ele is still on its feet.
