Exactly! On the other hand it is damn difficult to stop a charge in thick bush even when you know its coming as JPK's experience illustrates:
Quote:

When this bull crossed our wind at maybe 20yds he came looking for us. We could hear him coming quickly and we had nowhere to go. We first saw him at ten (yards) and when he broke through the bush at eight yards and saw us he turned, put his head down and came



Even after receiveing 3 shots (2 from the doubled DR and one from the PH's .470) the ele escaped. Hopefully he did only have a "headache" but one has to assume that if he survives he's not going to take too kindly to hunters invading his personal space!
Maybe the next guy won't be so lucky, whether elephant hunting or not...
Still if its me, I won't be carrying a .375 with softs up the spout!
