Tell us about that CHARGES that took place.

Those guides and hunters that hold their ground sure have my respect.
I was watching Jim Shockey when he was on his elephant hunt (muzzleloader). That show was awesome and if you didn't think they were hunting then I don't understand what hunting is. They stalked for days through the brush, had some charges and, in the end, a young bull charged them and did not back off. The PH stood his ground and put the animal down at about 20yds (or so it looked to me). One of the ballsiest things I have ever seen. Even though Shockey didn't shoot the animal he put his tag on it becaude that was right and ethical. An awesome elephant hunt!

If you are a member (free)of his website, http://www.jimshockey.com/, You can see the video. Awesome!
