A Darwin Award for certain people has been mentioned many times in the past on AR. This also "might" be a candidate. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/81869689/ | ||

The guy's reaction looked 100% legit, so I can't believe this could be a fake. But having said that, what was the deal with the shotgun's recoil? It looks like the gun pivots and the buttstock moves towards his feet and the barrel jerks outward. If it hadn't moved outward he would have taken it to the forehead. Also, the buttstock seems to bend/get wider. I think some of the video may have been photoshoped.

Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

My first reaction was "Naw, this can't be. You've got to be kidding me." Then the realization hit me that it's real and this guy is still out there in the public. Not enough time has passed for the odds and natural selection to have had their chance. | |||

why do people not burn or otherwise destroy videos showing them do stuff like this? must have been a hang fire? Lucky bastard, I'd go out and buy a lotto ticket after that.

Watching this had really made my day!  Man I feel just great!  Thanks for posting.  At least I now know that, even though I'm admitting to be somewhat stupid, there are guys out there that bet me hands down in the stupidity stakes!     In good hunting.

Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it. One cannot cure: Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!

Watching this again, I'm still not sure it isn't fake. Reason being that you can clearly hear him pull the trigger resulting in a loud "Click" as the gun fails to fire. Then he cycles the pump and "Click" again, followed by looking into the bore. Did anyone else notice this? | |||

Todd That is a good catch. But look at what I posted. WTH is up with the stock? Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure.

Yeah Jason, There is something going on there as well. Isn't it strange now days that you can't even believe your eyes anymore? Cheers, Todd | |||

I did not notice anything being ejected when he cycled the pump. Maybe the gun as well as the shooter are not too well? | |||

Man, that was great. At first my jaw fell and I was struck dumb. Then I just laughed so hard I nearly pissed myslf. I suppose if it was real, he would have powder burns all over his face. Kind regards, Carpediem No politician who supports gun control should recieve armed protection paid for by those he is trying to disarm. Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-scotch in one hand-Chocolate in the other-body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOO-HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!"

Quick! Use these before he has a chance to breed!  | |||

This is what happens to the gene pool when we let leftists interfere with the process of natural selection. When you get bored with life, start hunting dangerous game with a handgun. | |||
