I didn't say he was trying to save the meat/fur. I said that is one reason not to fire a second shot on a mortally wounded animal. Again, I see nothing from the 2 minutes of video after the shot that would indicate that the animal wasn't ready to expire in short order.
So you think you could have squeezed off a second round on a moving animal at 700 yards? Furthermore do you think you could tell if an animal isn't mortally wounded from a video camera with a 2" screen or your scope at that range when it is still sitting in the same spot your dropped it at?

How long would you watch an animal flop around, Before you do something?

It was painfully obvious that the animal was NOT hit in the vitals.

Yes I would have taken the shot. If you can see through the scope to shoot. Than you can see through the scope and tell if the animal is dead or floping around.
If your position is that the animal is moving too much for a second shot. Than why take the first shot. The animal was moving then. The first shot hit the spine, How much could it move?
