Like you I want to kill all my own animals.

If you shoot straight you will have no problems.

However... The last thing I want is an animal to escape over a boundary [even if it falls dead 10 feet over said boundary] or to cause a 2 day follow up.

My instructions to the PH's I have hunted with is for them to do what they think is best. ie if they think they need to shoot, then shoot.

I only ask that if an animal charges us, before they shoot they give me the command SHOOT!, about 1.5 seconds before they shoot, at least giving me the first shot.

I have never hunted with a trigger happy PH, and have never had a problem, but I do not think it is proper for a hunter to tell a PH how to do his job, unless the hunter is very experienced and the PH does something off base.

Like wise I have never questioned my PH when he says to shoot a particular animal.

He is much more experienced at judging the trophy than I am.
