Billy. Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I don't agree with that. We might complain about not being able to hit a pigeon, but to miss that and then still leave it injured isn't right. There were easily 4 shots fired at that.

al4x Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 shots fired which would have been slugs at a fast moving target so you can understand the misses. The guide who would have been one of the shooters are usually pretty good shots. Just goes to show what can happens when your hunting something that can eat you. Makes shooting rabbits look a little tame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 God, that guy makes the whole shooting community look poor - if you're going to be a ''big man'' and shoot things like that, you should at least not squeel like a little girl when you get attacked.

gixer1 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 just seems wrong......as leopards are on the "near threat" list (meaning their numbers are dwindling) Gixer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 just seems wrong......as leopards are on the "near threat" list (meaning their numbers are dwindling) Gixer1 Not where my PH lives in SA on the Limpopo. He's licenced to shoot 12 leapards a year and does although he stalks them with a shotgun as the bush is so dense having a rifle is pointless it's all close quarters stuff AND when you're out after leopard they are hunting you. He has the scars to prove it! $10000 is the usually rate so you don't just need balls you need cash!

al4x Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Its the whole shooting and conservation argument, while they are worth 10K to shoot the locals will look after them as for them all they do is kill them and their animals. The same argument goes for most big game, and with big game they don't always fall over at the first shot whatever size gun you're using. was that noise the cat or the bloke though, sounded a lot like my cat when the dog gets hold of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) That reminded me when I saw a similar film, but the cat ''poked'' back Edited February 20, 2009 by chrispti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamlumsden Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 i dnt agree with that at all there was no need to that the stress and pain to the animal must hav been thru the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Notice the poor African tracker armed only with an axe He sure got the bum end of the deal... I guess when you're stalking a animal which will inturn stalk you-its a completely different scenario.Leopards are big so unless a shot is carefully placed-theres always a chance of wounding.

Carbonrocket Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Did not like that at all. I hope the hunter got an infection from the claws. Carbon I only shoot with air but make sure its head! this was not nice. SAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon I only shoot with air but make sure its head! this was not nice. SAD. So do you think you could shoot a charging Leopard in the head with an air rifle or a centrefire? I doubt it somehow. Let's be fair about this, the guys were doing their best to finish off a wounded animal...just like we all do (hopefully). With that thing charging towards them at that speed through tall grass, it's not surprising that they missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) sick its a pity the guy did not miss the leopard & shoot the **** on the floor Edited February 23, 2009 by blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Ignorance is definitley one of shootings biggest enemies. The average anti would say the same about fluffy rabbits and foxes, though they only eat crops or lambs and chickens. Rather than as does happen in Africa the farmers cows or if he is really unlucky him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piebob Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Got it in one al4x - I can't believe some of the comments from so-called shooters. Talk about being ill-informed........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I don't suggest for a second that culling big game over there should be stopped, I just think people that do it have more money than sense, and must have very empty lives. There is no sport in shooting elephants, leopards or whatever from a blind..... especially just for the bragging rights. I do appreciate that the industry pump large volumes of money (and fresh meat) into local communities, but still, its a little bit heartless all the same.

al4x Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Surely the video demonstrates the sporting aspect, you're hunting something thats dangerous to you fluff the shot and you can get killed. Thats where the exhileration is, sporting wise its probably comparable to shooting a deer from a high seat but without the issue if you get it wrong. Cost wise well you can blow the same money on a days driven shooting if you go to the right place, but what you won't have is instances when they kill an elephant the meat usually goes to feed a local village who usually badly need the meat. Theres a lot more to it than meets the eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
