So you agree with me that wild lions don`t stand around like this one did. Now answer one more question, how many lion hunts in RSA could be called fair-chase? This video was debated forever over at Accuratereloading.com by men how have more years in the bush then I`ve been alive and they all agree it`s canned. How many PH`s take the whole troop on a lion hunt?

Yep and this one was trying to find an escape rout as well. But............... it's hard for him to run away when there's a 12 foot fence keeping him locked in with no chance what so ever. All he can do is run down the fence line.

Fenced hunt on millions of acres or ten acres I'd have to have let this lion go. I don't see much point in paying thousands of dollars only to shoot a lion after it has been cornered in a fence. He may as well have been in a pen. Except that the so called hunter sucks.

Wooo hoo. I shot a lion but only after it had no where to go. How exciting.[&:][:'(] I would have been embarasses to show this footage to anyone especially anyone in my family.


I live and breathe hunting and hopefully one day I will be able to hunt Africa, New Zeland and other places around the world but this is a joke, zoo animal or wild animal.

Finder,

He probaby ran away to get away from the shooting and the lion, i know i would have

Yes, their natural reaction is to run. But, when agitated I would be prepared for an attack. This lion was more than likely, not cornered, as I see only one fence line, but agitated. And to your second question, of how many lion hunts in RSA can be considered fair chase, well of course that would depend on your definition of fair chase. There are low fence operations in the Free State, of RSA that even some of you Hunting Gods would consider fair chase. And in other high non-electric fenced operations lions will often dig under and/or use warthog holes to move from one fenced location to the other. So whether you would consider that fair chase or not is up to you.


BigBulls, if I were you I'd probably cancel my trip to RSA if you are that against hunting on concessions. Some of the concessions I've been on have been as large as 60,000 acres, possibly more. I'd consider looking into other countries such as Zimbabwe or Mozambique if you are looking to get away from the commercialism and high-fences.

Finder, if you found that video exciting then you should do a search on Mark Sullivan.

Yep, If I am ever lucky enough to hunt Africa that will be one of the first questions that gets asked.


Even still I'd have to have let that lion live another day. Just don't seem right to me.
