What state are you looking at to hunt elk in and are you going to use a bow or a rifel. there is alot of good hunting in alot of diff. states for elk. give me a little more info. and i'll try to help you out.
I'm lost why did you take the first shot if your not sure with your self. pluse if you thought you made a good shot the first time why are you shooting at another bull that dosent look hit.
