I certainly agree. I havent had the pleasure of hunting elephant YET, but I think a finishing, or insurance shot is always in order for dangerous game. I consider it a requirement. Not only is my safety at stake, but that of unarmed trackers and everyone present. These men depend not only on the PH, but the client as well to insure a dangerous animal is no longer a danger to anyone. I have only taken two dangerous animals in Africa, but i did insure both were no longer a danger. What cheaper insurance can you buy than a 500 grain solid. If a hunter ommits this step to say he took a dangerous animal with one shot, I personally consider that unethical. Out of respect for a magnificent animal, and the safety of men engaged in MY hunt, you can bet I will always "pay the insurance".
