Yes, the PH may have his fingers in his ears. Don't let that fool you, they are familiar with their rifles and aren't slow when the need for speed is there.

You can stop an elephant with a pelvis, leg or spine shot that disables it. The target is small so the default target is the heart and lungs which are large targets. You will have a bit of time to anchor the elephant, but if your PH takes a heart lung shot its because the elephant is bugging out.

That my experience.
