Crazy! Cow Elephant charge!

I'm not experienced in this but from my amateur perspective: That was not a bluff charge. She definitely had some bad intent.

Absolutely, this was a determined charge that was only going to end in one or more deaths! Fortunately both the PHs were excellent and dealt with the charge with clinical efficiency. Very impressive!!

Once again, I'm a complete amateur but they definitely waited till the last possible second. Risky, but noble for sure.

Not really risky waiting until then. They waited until they could give a high guarantee of stopping the charge with their one opportunity. You watch a lot of charge videos with less experienced PHs who shoot way too soon when animal is still at a distance. It’s not likely you’ll get a second chance. Also, I’m sure a lot less explaining to game department that it was shot in self defense.
 
Great video. Brings back some nice and some scary memories!
 
Great video and exciting hunt. Knowing this hunter personally, it was great hearing the story from him and seeing the footage last year. He’s been on another couple of really cool hunts and has some great doubles.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
