It is a brave man whom would risk shooting a mock charging elephant through the ear at 7 or 10 yards. I remember reading a Don Heath post, or someone like that, whom talked about facing off mock charges at that sort of range.

Now to me, smacking an elephant's ear almost within trunk smacking range takes a lot of guts.

Better the PH makes these decisions than an inexperienced client.

I also remember when going to Zimbabwe and was speaking to the agent the day before and he said be careful with the elephants, as they are dangerous and do charge and it is not play at all. He said if you feel in danger, just shoot the elephant.

Puts it in perspective the day before heading over. As Adam also says above about not putting in a warning shot.
