That was your PH's screw up. He should have known better. Almost all of the time the direction you approach a bull is at least somewhat in your control, they are frquently alone or in a small group, and that means you can vary your approach by 10, 20, 30 degrees, maybe more, and keep the sun behind or to the side.
I am glad you said almost always JPK, as its not always. I was the PH on Josh's hunt, and the elephant where walking back on his trail in some really thick bush. The wind was just wrong for us to try anything else, so we waited for him to clear the brush at about 18-20 yards before Josh fired.
I must just add that I really enjoyed both my hunts with Josh, and even told my wife afterwards that I have hunted with few men that where bigger gentlemen.
