1451405 2018-07-11 00:03:00 From my time in Africa, I believe the common wisdom was to shoot any charging animal in the front legs to bring it down before it reaches you then finish it off.

I know this works with elephants as a friend of my mothers was charged in the Luangwa Game Park by a very big elephant and it was stopped inches away from her by a Game Warden using the above method. In those days it was possible to walk around the Park with a Game Warden, may still be happening now.

I just read this link and walking safaris are still carried out.

I really don't want to shoot one of them - they are majestic creatures that should roam free and alive in the woods.

Just not at my fishing holes!

I DO believer that I am somewhere near the top of the feeding pool - and I have seen pixs of guys that were slowly eaten to death by bears.

They don't usually nicely euthanize their current protein source before they chow down. - they go for the liver whilst one watches in amazement as one sees many of his internal parts - things that SHOULD remain inwards and out of sight.
