Hello Members,

Most hunters don't have a problem with the "possible" need of a follow up shot from the ph, if they have opted for the brain shot once all the possibilities and pro's and cons have been discussed. Most experienced ph,s won't shoot just to get a shot off.

Consider that if a brain shot has been missed there is every possibility that the Elephant may take off and you are now faced with a wounded animal as well as a dangerous animal. When an Elephant decides to go....They go quickly (or come for that matter). As Will, 500grains and Mr. Atkinson have already pointed out it is now the possibility of not only loosing the animal but also your trophy fees. More importantly is our responsibility and respect owed towards any animal that we shoot.

If I may suggest, a hunter should be prepared to take either the brain or Heart/lung shots on Elephant as vegetation and terrain may also be a deciding factor.
