A few years back i was with friends as an observer in Africa on an elephant hunt.My friend took a shot at an elephant from about 30 yards and the bullet instead of piercing the brain richoed off leaving the elephant hopping mad and injured.The animal turhed around and charged.I was about a 100 yds.away watching thru binocs.and believe me i had chills running down my spine.My friend ran for his life but unfortunately stumbled and fell.Thats when the PH took over nad fired a couple of shots at the animal but by then it was too late and the elephant was upon him.The PH (Ricky was his name)had no chance,he was gored ,stamped on and killed.Another friend got the whole sordid eposode on film which was later confiscated by the authorieties but returned after being censored.The elephant was killed by other PH'S and guides present but not before it had taken about 40 bullets.
I still have nightmares about the whole incident,a charging elephant is not something one would like to encounter.
