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.

Id need a new set of undies.

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

that hyperlink is bunk, i wanna see the clip.......

RE: VIDEO Is your caliber big enough???
 

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.

yea that was some fine shooting, of course i don't know how i'd shoot with 5 pounds of poop in my underwear either[:-]

I'm sure the round was not at fault. This is a prime example of how darwin was correct. To top it off, did you see how that idiot lost his rifle once the Lion attacked him and the barrel of the wepon spun around and he was looking dead into the muzzle. This situation could have gotten very ugly if there was more than one lion real quick. There is a lesson for us all here shot placement is the key!!!

There ain't a shoulder fired weapon that can make up for missin' the target.

RE: VIDEO Is your caliber big enough???
 

yep those nit wits would have been better off with shotguns and buck shot.

RE: VIDEO Is your caliber big enough???
 

If you can't stare down a charging animal intent on rearanging your insides for a follow up shot that's good you have no buisness hunting dangerous game. After the guide missed the third time I would considerd shooting him in the ass and take off running, that guy had no buisness guiding. I'm with OEH, to bad the lion lost in an obviously non fair chase situation.

And they call that hunting? That's shooting lion's in a barrel.
I would't take them hog hunting!
The lion should have taken a real piece of his @$$!
They looked like MO,LARRY and CURLY on safari.
