To me that was stupid. WHo would want to hunt a lion. That guy is really lucky he ain't dead. That was freaky. It really opened my eyes, because just about anything can turn on you like that.

Bigcountry Am I to ASSUME that your Idea of hunting is to only shoot animals that can't hurt us back? The whole idea of hunting is the sport or the challenge if you don't have that element it's just killing not hunting. As far as the lion being endangered it is in some areas but other areas have huntable populations. You know big country BABY CHICKS CAN'T FIGHT BACK, YOU MIGHT WHANT TO TRY THEM.

To shed a little light on this Lion Clip,
This was a Free ranging Lion. The fence you see was to protect a villiage.The big cat had entered somehow and killed a ranger and a horse. It was offered to a paying hunter to make a little cash. The problems were that there was some hesitation with shots that could damage a mount. The PH and backup shooters waited too long. There should have been an instant overdose of vitamin L from multiple sources.

The world is full of sheep that will never understand it is better to "have lived and died like a lion" than to live and be slaughtered with the sheep!

Be proficient with the weapon that you take in the field...............Shooting a target is one thing, just make sure you can make the shot when it counts. Could I have made that shot? I don't know. Would I be in that situation? H%LL NO! That's what the Discovery Channel is for!!! LOL

What away to possibly meet your maker!! To me the first shot looked like it hit in the lion's neck.IMO if you're hunting adangerous animal like a lion if you can do a head shot do it. The taxi's can fix holes. And the hunter wasted to much time to not make a second shot right after his first shot.The lion looked like it stood their for about 10 sec. or more right after the first shot,more than enuff time to make a second shot.
