a lie? dont think so there cowboy.
With respect to the seal hunt I frankly do not believe you
Believe what you want. Believe in toothfaires if it fills your boots. I support the seal hunt in respect to culling and preservation. Some say the seals were in part of the decline of the cod... allthough a small part. I do however prefer the method of shooting, rather than clubing. As for the vidio... it is you who are assuming that this was a wild "hunt"... just as i assume it was a caged hunt. If in case you did not see what i posted earlier if regards to this vidio... i support a hunt that is soly based on ethical practices. Culling a species for preservation of future stocks or getting rid of a nusance animal is needed. Was this the case of the vidio in question? You seem to think so. I dont. So whos right and whos wrong. Remember.. we werent there. As for the remark about my narrowed way of practicing hunting... its the way i choose to hunt. If you want to chase with dogs, run down with atv's, or "push hunt" and get satisfaction out of doing so, then i guess thats your way of choosing to hunt, or at least supporting those that do. It seems we are on two different sides of the table. Now.. back to the moose incident... its obvious that your arnt a good guess at character. Those that know me know i dont lie.
Have not eaten lion................I would......but I have had cougar a few times and it is really very good.
Boer seun............this problem with people having very staunch opinions about stuff they know nothing about seems to be rather common.
When I was hunting buff in Zimbabwe one time we saw three lions.....we later called them the Rat Pack...........they showed about as much fear as this lion did in the initial video and we certainly were not in a fenced area of any kind. We later saw them take cown a cow buffalo...........the whole herd took off and soon returned, running the lions off of the cow.
Those cats never did show much fear of us, they stalked around and grunted, didn't push....but didn't back away. It was a great experience and I will always remember it.

No, I've never seen a lion in the wild. I have seen several lion hunting videos, though.
However, You have to remember...this clip has been playing on the internet for years.
Alot of very experienced African hunters (PH's and vetrans of many African hunts alike) on various websites dismissed this 'hunt' as a lion in a high fenced area, and the lion possibly raised in captivity. In short, not very fair chase.
If anyone has actual, factual information direct form the source about the video, they shoudl post it and clear everything up.
Well after the initial "bad shot" (#### happens... even to the best shots)
I'd say things moved along pretty quickly...I was impressed at the Guide(?)s final shot right when the Lion lifted off the ground.....if you slow mo it you can see the Lion cringe in mid flight at the kneeling fellas shot...IMO this is the only Reason our Hunter did not have his Jugular removed
He also deserves some credit for standing his ground right to the end...a change of underwear was in order I'm sure And I will bet he learned to make the 1st shot count when hunting things that Bite.
Lucky noone got shot or mauled in the mayhem that followed but then that's why Lions are classed as Dangerous Game

Well I guess it was all pretty much a wast of time, I presented my arguments to you in a non confrontational manner despite the personal attacks that you made while discussing this topic. You show a lack of understanding of hunting and firearms in general when you say that you would prefer shooting to clubbing during the seal harvest on the east coast. It is obvious to me that you have never heard a bullet ricochet off the ice, if you had it might of occurred to you that shooting would be unsafe given the number of people out there. Secondary to that, there is always the chance of a poor shots resulting in horrendous wounds, fair to say that the clubbing is much more humane and safe given the nature of this harvest. Your immaturity is shown in that you come to a conclusion from watching a short piece of video without stopping to digest what it is that you have actually seen. Your selfishness has shown in that you would only support your own style of hunting - with the exception of the seal harvest you say - despite the fact that all hunting is under attack, and that hunters need to stand together in this fight. You claim not to be a liar, but the moose story speaks for itself.

I ask you to show me where in any of the above quotes of mine that i have "persoanlly attacked" you. If indeed you are offended in that i dont agree with your styles of approved hunting, then it is you who needs to get thicker skin. Prove to me that "my lack of hunting and firearms" have anything to do with the method of using a .22short calibre to harvest seals over clubbing? Ricocheting might be a problem if the person in question doesnt know the conditons at the time... but i think they would know this as according to your rules, these would have to experiened hunters as it is an approved style of hunting. Correct me if im wrong, but 90% seals taken today are shot. You say im narrow minded when it comes to hunting, but yet you dont believe me when i say i support the seal hunt. You say the liminited support i do give is only support it is because of the logistics of where i live, but yet your self centered theories wont allow you to accept others way. You say my immaturity comes into fact that i dont accept that the vidio was a wild hunt. As mentioned from a previous member, this vidio has been around for awhile and discussed amungst "expert" lion hunters in the past. Yet... it is you who comes to the conclusion (yes, i know.. youve mentioned it before that you claim you are a big bad dangerous game hunter) that this is in fact a real down to earth wild hunt. Somehow, i dont see you saying that you were in fact as one of those hunters in the vidio, so i dont believe you were actually there to witness this vidio in question. You claim we need to stick together to support all hunting in question, but yet you dismiss my abilty to make a clear consious decision in the ways i hunt. You again claim that the moose story if fiction. Again.. i ask you to prove it wrong. You say that shooting is more inhumain than clubbing when it comes to seal hunts... for whom? The sealers? Again... your machoism is oozing machismo. Then i guess according to your theries that the lion vidio in question is inhumain as it appears that several of those "firing at will" shots came damn near close to hitting someone else. Whether you choose to accept it or not... not everyone agee's with your styles of approved hunting and again... these statements all derive from the vidio in question. "self proclaimed big game hunters" have dismissed this vidio as a real hunt, so it appears that your thery on this one is indeed fiction.
