Kinda also gives credence to "the most gun you can handle" concept doesn't it?




Hoppdoc,

FWIW, I've been charged and chased by elephant on several occations, a few while hunting and more while not, but have so far only shot one elephant. With that said, I wouldn't hesitate to use a 375H&H again. Although if given a choice, I think I would go for a slightly larger calibre. But I wouldn't go so far as to say it is absolutely necessary.

What this poll really suggests is that ALL hunters will get attacked by game if they hunt certain game or hunt big game long enough!!




I'll also add that different people have different veiws on what an "attack" is. It appears to me from some of the posts read on various internet forums that some people think they have been "attacked" or "charged", simply because animal X happened to be trotting in their general direction from a hundred meters away. Inexperiance can then lead them to believe that they were in mortal danger, when they in fact were not.
