+1 For the Lion.
« on: August 10, 2009, 09:48:11 PM »
The next time the guide says wait,.....I'm slappin him... Take the shot when you have it.

The lion went down, but not before soiling the teams pants, for one last charge.

Good for the lion...

That's why you carry a side arm while hunting, or a semi auto carbine.  And I'd be willing to bet that that lion had it coming.  I doubt their big on the hunting list.

Glad I'm too poor to hunt lions. I've never had much use for trophy hunting. If I can't eat it, I've got no reason to shoot it.

I wish that the lion would have gotten away, after a good swipe on the guide.

Yep, thats the end all be all of lion videos, and one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.

I saw that on TV on an African Hunting show one time, and I was absolutely speechless the first time I saw it. It is almost overwhelming to think about the amount of poise that something like that took. That guy was staring death right in the face and put the shot right on the money. Not many people could perform such a task under such a threat, but that guy stepped up and did what had to be done to save his own life.

Can't imagine what that would have been like. Making the shot count is an understatement.

How no one got shot in the other video is amazing.

everytime I see that I get mad thinking that was not in the wild, that was in an enclosed preserve where these animals dont have a chance and I suspect have been de clawed. I have never seen fence and telephone poles in the wild. Makes me sick.

2How, you don't understand what you are talking about.
First, you have never seen phone poles in the wild ? That's odd because America was criss crossed with telegraph poles as far back as the 1850's. South Africa was pretty well wired by the end of the Boer war in 1900.
Secondly, you need to expand your idea of a "Game Preserve" this is NOT a farm were animals are led out and shot. Think more along the lines of Yellowstone. These animals are as wild as they ever were. According to the information on YouTube the video seems to be from the Kruger National park, it measures 217 MILES by 37 Miles and amung many other species contains 1500 lions (1499 now  ;D  )
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruger_National_Park
All the Big Five game animals are found at Kruger National Park, which has more species of mammals than any other African Game Reserve (at 147 species). There are webcams set up to observe the wild life. [8]

As of 2009[update], the park has counted approximately:

    * 27,000 African Buffalo
    * 350 African Hunting Dogs
    * 350 Black Rhinoceros
    * 4,509 White Rhinoceros
    * 17,797 Burchell's Zebras
    * 500 Bushbucks
    * 200 Cheetahs
    * 300 Common Eland
    * 5,114 Giraffes
    * 5,798 Greater Kudus
    * 3,000 Hippopotamus
    * 1,500 Lions
    * 1,000 Leopards
    * 2,000 Spotted Hyenas
    * 11,672 Elephants
    * 5,000 Waterbuck
    * 9,612 Blue Wildebeest
    * 90,000 Impalas

The park stopped culling elephants in 1989 and tried translocating them, but by 2004 the population had increased to 11,670 elephants (2006: approximately 13,500, 2009: 11.672). The park's habitats can only sustain about 8,000 elephants. The park started using annual contraception in 1995, but has stopped that due to problems with delivering the contraceptives and upsetting the herds.

Kruger National Park holds over 48 tons of ivory in storage. According to Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES), it is allowed to sell 30 tons.
