Sorry if this happens to be anyone who posts here...but the look from the PH to the client at 00:35 makes me laugh every time I watch it.

Okay, call me crazy. It ain't funny. More like piss poor shooting and the inability to reload his rifle.

And not to mention the elephant.

What's funny about all that?

I think that's the point. The PH looked disgusted with the client.

Exactly right, Will! Not funny at all as it relates to the game itself and the shooting performance of either party really. Near as I can tell both PH and client flubbed a couple shots. Of course, it's impossible to tell if the PH had a decent view of the brain from where he was so its tough to criticize him too much. Honestly, the first few shots looked a bit awkward in terms of the amount of cover over that elephant, no?

The humorous bit is definitely the look of disgust over the painfully slow reload and nearly lost elephant. Can almost see him mouth the phrase "F*&**ING HELL" cant you! Combine that with the standard handshake photo and the contrast is humorous IMO.


Maybe all is well that ends well and the client deserves a bit of credit for cleaning up his own mess with the lucky brain shot from behind?

Same guys killing what is undoubtedly a canned RSA lion. At least the shooter reloads when he's told to.

Yea, the look on the PH's face is priceless, full of disgust after the dust cleared.

That was pretty priceless. What was the gurgling sound---did he make a lung shot?
