"he was presented with a frontal shot on a bull ,as he fired the elephant turned, resulting in a non effective brain shot,before he could fired his second barrel, the PH ,totalled the animal with his rifle, much to the astonishment and horror of the client."
Will I thought Retired Professor could read. It's obvious that the ele was not about to crush the client, so the PH should not have fired his rifle period. It's the clients trophy fee and if he didn't ask for help that settles it, the PH should have held his fire.
