Hamish Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 http://rolltidebama.com/video.htm I hope you enjoy these clips as much as the Fox Shooting clips. The Lion Hunter is just a bit too close for me!! By the way, I am still looking for some land to shoot Fox and Rabbits on with my .223 and .22R/F in the S.Yorks/Lincs area if anyone can help. Thanks, Hamish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apbuild Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I've seen the lion clip before. Thought it was going to bite the hunters head off!!! His missus makes me laugh when you hear her say 'My legs are shaking'. :blink: Yeah and I bet your g-string is a little browner my love!!!!!!! :blink: :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooke103 Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 (edited) i like his bright red cap on the JT shooting a fake deer 3 times at Owl Creek Lodge one :blink: goes well with the rest of his outfit jake Edited February 12, 2005 by cooke103 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 i like his bright red cap on the JT shooting a fake deer 3 times at Owl Creek Lodge one :blink: goes well with the rest of his outfit jake Yeh but I think they have to wear bright colours when they are in the woods so that another sports man doesn't shoot them.

Teal Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 What ollie said is right, because deer (and some other mammals) are in effect colourblind to orange and pink they can't see it, but it makes it very obvious to other hunters. I guess it's sensible as I understand sportsmen shooting each other in the states (used to and still is?) a bit of a problem. Thank goodness, we don't have that problem here. I believe a lot of "public land" in America is open for anyone to shoot which is a good thing - however, because of it being open to anyone it is not organised in any way and lots of shooters are covering the same land. Very nice links I liked seeing the gobblers very much. However, I personally felt it was sad to see the lion - even more so as it looked in the video as if there were some upright stakes in the ground (not natural) which I am concerned could have formed part of a pen, I have heard this occurs in S.Africa, and is basically "shooting in a can" to high paying americans who are just after a trophy and is not something i personally approve of.

digga Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 some good clips, the lion hunt was pretty pathetic :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Gringo Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Gotta agree with you fellows. The lion hunt certainly looked 'canned' to me. One would suspect that any wild lion would flee at the sight of humans approaching in such a manner. Having said that, I've never hunted lions so I guess I shouldn't be too certain with my comments. I have participated in a lot of white-tailed deer hunts in the U.S., though what you'll see in most videos of this type are not hunts at all, but are what I call "deer shoots". Most of the Texas scenes involve using corn spread on the ground to attrack does. During the rut, the bucks will move into the open areas to check the breeding status of the does and hence present a decent shot. The comments about public hunting property in the States is correct, and as an added measure of safety, deer hunters are required to wear 'hunter orange' in most states.....usually on private property as well. The amount of hunter orange varies by state. Deer are color blind and cannot see it, but the human eye can pick up the color a mile away. I do get a kick out of seeing these guys spend all sorts of money on fancy camouflage clothing, only to then sit totally hidden in a box blind.

Crowblaster Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 The lion hunt was canned. I read about it on the Accurate Reloading forums. A few of the points they picked out were that the lion acted all disoriented during his attack of the unter. Notice it looks in every direction and doesn't attempt another attack. Also, the PH should have been protecting his hunter. I was rooting for the lion. Anyways...if you have never checked that site click here... accurate reloading Then go to the video page for some real laughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Gringo Would any of you want to be out hunting with those gung ho planks !!!, What about the **** head who shot the standing deer target three times thinking it was a real deer, didn't even realise it was a target until he walked up to it !!!. Those guys scare me just to look at, you've only got to look at their track record for killing our soldiers in so called "friendly fire" incidents. IMHO calling it that is as big an insult as you can offer to the relatives of the victim, how can being killed by one of your allies ever be considered friendly . Surprised the spin doctors haven't come up with a more politically correct version by now !! Sorry, going off topic, Hat and coat firmly on, I'm out the door..........Byeeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashty Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Aye. Don't care much for hunting with crossbows or bows as it looks as though most of the kills were'nt cleanly done. I especially did'nt like the lion hunt :< :< i think that was purely sadistic (If they're not good enough to plant a head shot or one in the heart with a rifle of the calibre you'd be using for hunting game of that class then they should'nt be there but thats the world we live in). VERY SAD! In fact i thiink the hunting group deserved to be mauled a few times, probably worse . It just did'nt look right!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubs Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Good clips, I thought the lion one was a bit sick, It certainly looked set up to me. Why people would put this for viewing i do not konw.If that was me I'd be glad to keep it under wraps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I remember reading about the Lion Hunt Video which apprently caused an upRoar (excuse the pun) when it was released Apparently the Lion was carted in to an unfamiliar territory and had been sedated only hours earlier. There have been unconfirmed reports that it had been de-clawed and de-toothed some months before Shame it didnt get hold of a couple of those tossers and chew em up a bit. I know of a Game Hunter who has shot Lion, Buffalo and Wildebeast in Africa and he has seen the video and was adamant that if they had been using the proper ammunition the Lion would not have got up after the first shot even if the shot was slightly misplaced. I think its a pretty sick bit of advertising. FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb5037 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Like Digger i've only watched the lion video so far. I felt sorry for the lion, wish the lion had of seriously hurt one of the **** shooters. Call that sport? B@stards!!! Tell me we're not in the same boat as them.

pigeon master Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 No RB, We are not and we dont want to be, just wish it had ripped his face open or one his his so called hunter mates had put a few rounds into each other. Sad, Sad, Sad. I've mentioned before that I've had the pleasure of observing these great cats in the wild and to think thats there's people out there that choose to kill them is just shocking. Lets see if there great hunters when there grand kids dont get the chance to see a wild lion or tiger because of their ingnorance. :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varmintator Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 THE CLIP OF THE LION IS WHAT GIVES HUNTERS A BAD NAME I AM GLAD TO BE PART OF THIS FORUM WHERE PEOPLE HAVE RESPECT FOR THE ANIMALS THEY HUNT. :< :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilishdave Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 It can hardly be called sport when a group of at least 5 can get that close to a lion. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon_decoyer Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I did feel sorry for the lion but i nearly **** myself wehn I saw it running at the hunters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim38curl Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 That was the best bit. I was sitting there willing the lion to take a few chunks out. How sickening at the end when they congratulated each other. I would have melted my gun down and hung my head in shame. To**ers !! Quite surprising they didn't hit each other, they seemed to be firing quite wildly in a bit of a panic. Oh well, maybe next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackthorn Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 shame the lion didn't take his head could have been a befitting end to that clip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maori Haz Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 To**ers..... Unlucky lion. The way at the end they congratulated each other and giving each other high 5's, sickens me. MH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyfirst Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 the lion clip is pathetic. Sickening. Apart from the appaling way in which the handled themselves, and the hideously dangerous way they were firing- why would you want to shoot a lion?!

lurcherboy Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Because you paid for it and the 'company' guarentee it. There is no lion shooting in Kent where I live, but I wont slag off someone that does. I think caged animal shooting stinks, but thats there buisness, and thats what it is. Same for Rhino and all the others that we see as majestic beasts. LB B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
