One reason one gets close to elephant is to make sure of the shot.

And sniping at long distance, if the buffalo is wounded, will the "arab" example sorts actually finish it off? or does the PH does this for them?

I know with wounded leopards often or usually the PH will instruct the client to stay back or sit in the vehicle. I know this would REALLY IRK me. It is MY HUNT, and MY RESPONSIBILITY. The law just tells me to hire a PH, and the PH supplies the outfit and usually a lot of useful information and knowledge.

I know why the PHs tell clients to stay away. It is because of their liability and professional risk if a client is injured or killed.

And yes the client has wounded the animal which is another thing the client IS 100% responsible to try to avoid.

But I am more than willing to do my own finishing off, and capable of doing it as well.

And enjoy getting in there, close and within smelling their breath distance, irrespective of the unease one feels at the time. My run ins with elephant, and with water buffalo angry and trying to kill me, have been the high points of my life.
