VIDEO Is your caliber big enough???
 
Check this video out. Better shot placement and a bigger gun would be advised.

That last shot, look at the recoil of that gun. It is TOO SMALL.

His PH should have stopped that lion before it got to the client!

Kind of looked like that guy was using a .243 for a Lion

notice the fence. some good hunting there. looks like they cornered him. If that is indeed a fence i would much rather be on the other side.

whoever his guide was, sucked. He should have taken that big boy down before he was even within 40 feet.

got the link to work, what a video doesnt really make me feel like hunting a lion anytime soon lol. I dont know what they were using, im sure plenty of gun but from what i could tell 8 shots were fired but only 2 shots connected and only one of them seemed to be a good fatal shot. I watched another video awhile back of a lion hunt gone awry and at point blank range this lion took 4 shots from a 416 rigby before it died. Lions are tough, I think id want a 600 nitro express with the first shot in the lions head.

That was a fenced in preserve where a problem Lion was relocated. They had plenty of power in their rifles unfortunately a bunch of useless twits operating them..too bad the lion lost.
