Closest call I've ever seen...

[1899]

What a lucky hunter - this is a lion charge video, but not the contraversial "canned hunt" charge.

[daveg01]

I hope he brought a clean pair of shorts

 

[Big JD-From the hills]

and the first thing he does is shake the other guys hand?????? WTF???

 

[pharaoh2]

Good God, nerves of steel.

 

[AG]

It looks as if one of the other guys (who fired from off to the left) shot hit the lion in the rear right foot/ankle during the charge not slowing it one bit. That was f'in close. Close enough the muzzle blast effect can be seen in the lions face. Yeah, I think I would have shzt my pants. Definitely wouldn't have been so nonchalant when getting up. Dude's got b*lls that's for sure.

I would be weeping like a baby and most likely soiling myself

 

[Beaner1976]

Would of been cooler if the lion took them all out.

 

[Jordan Smith]

That reminds me of this video. An oldie, but a goodie.

Lion hunt

Gotta love the comments on Youtube. Some dude blathering about the Ark and other screaming anti-hunting rants.

 

[RoscoeT]

Lots of anti hunters love to watch and bash hunting videos. It's a real piss off that you have to deal with those #######s.

You don't catch me watching Ricky Martin videos and then bashing his fans do ya? If ya don't like it then don't watch it.

there was another , same bunch that were trailing a wounded cat at night, in tall grass. The cat did get a hit on one of the fellas but they never gave up, and got it later that night. pretty crazy. can't find it.

 

[Longshot]

Its like the charging Rhino in the movie 300.
