It is funny how stories change over time, both over repeated telling as well as in our own minds.
I thought Don said he was teaching a group of aspiring PH's elephant behavior in a National Park when the incident happened. He was intentionally "pushing" the elephant to illustrate their behavior when it decided not to play and Don let it get close enough that when he finally decided he had to kill it the momentum of the charge brought it close enough that one of the tusks broke Don's arm.
And I understand the Park officials were none too pleased.
