Gents;

That Hippo was bought and paid for. I does not matter if a charge was provoked or not, it was going to be killed. Neither MS, the client or any of us are bushmen and have any spiritual connection with the game. Imagine if your PH said “Oh, he's too far away, lets go back to camp”. Each one of you would be pissed if you did not get to kill an animal. Every MS client knows what's in store; getting an in-your-face charge. Of course MS has to do the shooting, he's the PH. He can't let his client get killed. I approve of his style if that's what your paying for.
