rb5037 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Now this video as much better sporting (is that English?) than the other one saw today (Shooting clips from the usa). Didn't like the way they went about the killing of the tiger, but this video clip seemed ok. Strange i know. Good video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulos Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 that is sick, theres no excuse at all for shots like those, its all done just to satisfy the bloody yanks again, all trying to be rambo. its not about hunting, its about thrill seeking, if they want an adrenaline rush, go bloody bungie jumping.

Deako Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I'm a bit undecided :thumbs: , but you have to admit, it takes balls to stand there until the last minute! Hippo and Cape buffalo are by far the most dangerous of the African game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ratcatcher Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 one word,****,i wouldnt get a trill of that,i stick with shooting rats and small quarry ehhehehe and also,with some shots,they had to shoot them twice. B) :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarms Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Bear in mind that without the money generated by the people who can afford to go on safari these animals would have none fo the protection they have atm.. and would probably be facing extinction due to poaching. Similar to the Black Rhino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 in other words "we have to shoot them, or they'll die!" B) i get what you're saying, but im still very dubious :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashty Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 :< That's ******G ****!!! :< One, why do people go looking for these blood thirsty types of hunting videos and two, i did'nt think that hunting rhinos whether on safari or whatever is exactly legal. With this sort of footage, if it was illegal, can't that be used in a court of law as evidence??? LATER.......MUCH LATER!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piebob Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Hunting Rhino, Elephant, and lots of other big game is perfectly legal and, as other posters have said, contributes to the conservation of these animals. Piebob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargeant Bang Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Have mixed views myself. It certainly is blood thirsty but then hunting is atavism, end of, and atavism implies a reasonable degree of blood lust anyway, even when it's done for the sake of management or conservation. So to that degree we're all blood thirsty. Certainly in this case the beast has more chance than were it to be shot from 100yds away and never knowing. Also if you read a few accounts from safari's written by PH's and clients alike it's a fact that whether you're using .416 Rigby's, 500, 600 or 700 Nitro's a miss at that range is very common (through fear), also bullet placement is still absolutely vital if you require to drop the beast immediately, which clearly you must when operating in "whites-of-the-eyes" territory. So indeed the beast has more chance than one would first suppose. Bear in mind also that often these shots have to be taken with the shooter standing inside briar and thorn patches, which in no way stop a charging large animal. So if you don't get it right first time you can't just hope to leg it.... you're simply dead (probably). I feel that few of the clips shown that involved a second shot actually needed it, but in that position myself I'd probably have been keen to get a second one off just to be sure! Injury and fatality figures for those that indulge in this sort of safari are very high, so chalk one up for the animals! I doubt that shooting from more traditional ranges ever results in an injury to the hunters? In short I'm undecided, but I can see an argument for saying it IS respectful of the quarry.

ROB REYNOLDS UK Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 its no my cup of tea i cant see how they get off on it my self but its there sport not mine so i cant realy knock it as they would not be into what im into ,iv been over there my self just to look not kill when i came back i was going to pack up shooting it changed me that much,its like shooting cows in a field its not sport at all ,give me pests every time they are a lot smarter than some dum hippo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashty Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I know what your saying sarge and rob, i can see the conservation side of it. I guess it's no different to the game farming what we do, it's just on a much larger scale and yes, mark one up for the animals. Close range shooting like that must have it's drawbacks, you miss your dead!! Not my cup of tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 So why did we see a ******** at the start of the movie who seems to think that big cartridges and a knife are"COOL" :< Not my bag at all I know one guy who paid £5k just for a licence to shoot an elephant and if he don`t then he don`t get it back. Good on the local economy but guys who get a kick out of that........sorry speachless( :( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
