In this case, I'm in total agreement. If the critter didn't go down immediately or didn't look like it was hit well, I'd have insisted beforehand that they take a shot or two to prevent the escape. Any game that we shoot deserves to be humanely done whether here in NA or Africa. There is an article by Ganyana on the other forum, I can't remember the name right now, sells that book Nyati, where he says that a missed brain shot on ele doesn't necessarily mean the critter will go down and will probably kick into a higher gear and boogie on you.
