But there are circumstances that might lead to a second shot being delayed or even unwise. Examples are other elephants coming and bluffing (and you really only know its a bluff after the fact), or elephants looking for you. Who wants an empty gun in these circumstances, or the reverberations of a second shot causing a charge or possible mass charge. Even ejectors can tell an elephant where you are.

So there might be good reason that the second shot was delayed or not made, but not too often, I think.

The above scenario actually happened to us on the last hunt---I brained the tuskless and immediately another cow came over at a rapid pace..inspected the downed cow for a minute..then walked off a bit--before the trumpeting started by members of the herd...another reason, IMO, that this is so addictive...the interaction you have with the animals before, during and after is second to none...
