Idiot gun hunter... Jim Baker
I just watched Jim Baker(the guy that used to be at NRA) shoot two animals in Africa. The guy has got to be the worlds worst shot. First one he blows the lower leg off the thing shooting from the shooting crotched sticks of all shooting sticks. It was a gemsbuck. this thing has achest cavity2 feet tall and he misses it at 100 yards. They walk up and find leg bones. They get some Jack Russle terriers to corral the thing so he can shoot it again. Then the next one, a heartabeast he almost shoots the brisket off on a broad side shot from the same sticks. He shoots and said, great hit... he's going down. SO you see this thing jogging away with blood all up the front end of him. He isn't going down anytime soon. Jim exclaims these African animals are tough. Well heck boy, of course they are when you miss all the vitals. He shoots another one in him, looked like a gut shot. He finally walks up on the thing and it's head is bobbing around. they get within 25 yards and it tries to get up. He still doesn't shoot. FInally he puts a third one in the poor critter and finishes it off. I've seen him before and he rarely makes what I'd say is a great shot. If he'd take off the dang sunglasses he might beable to see.

A fool is a fool no matter what weapon he happens to be using , and some folks aren't fit to hold a weapon of any kind .

I'm happy that every shot you have ever taken on a game animal was perfectly placed so nobody can call you an idiot archery hunter. Couple that with not having any of your failures videoed and shown on television and you are doubly blessed.

What a great hunter[8D] I cringe so much every time I watch a video of a gun kill that I spare myself the agony and refuse to watch them anymore.

And these are the guys in the headlines. You would at least think they would know how to shoot! [:@]

I too saw that Jim Baker Africa hunt on OLN last night. It was pretty disgusting. I was watching it with my wife and I couldn't believe how bad that guy sucks with a rifle. They showed him shoot two different animals with a modern rifle, scope, and shooting sticks from within 150 yards. These are big targets, not like deer. The first three shots he took all missed the vitals (leg and brisket shots). Remember - these were perfect conditions. The animal was broadside, standing still grazing, with a guide telling you the yardage, with a modern rifle and scope and shooting sticks. His shots were nowhere near good shots - but every time he fired one he would say "OH that's a good shot - he's going down!" as the animal ran off at full speed obviously not mortally wounded. Then the two African guys would run back to the truck to get the dogs to find the wounded animal so this idiot could go up and blast it at point blank range. Afterward, Baker talks about how tough it is to bring down these big African game. I think a total rookie who's never shot a gun before could have done just as well as this guy.
I don't expect everyone to make a great shot every time but to go 0 for 3 while bragging what a great shot you made is ridiculous. And to show the animals suffering on TV while dogs pin it down for the 3rd follow up shot looks really bad for the people who are on the fence about hunting. |

You would hope these "IDIOTS" that are in the public eye would be more proficient at their sport and with their weapons. An occasionalmi**** will happen, but that's all this guy has. And to compound it, he makes a terrible shot and says, great hit. He's hit hard. NOT!!! I stand by my label of "IDIOT". And then to have the gall to put it on video and TV. Of course the first word from his mouth when they finally cornered the critter, "What do you think he'll SCORE"? [:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(] |
