Lion Charges - scary stuff

Gentlement I'm sorry if you have seen these before, but I have more fearful opinion of hunting lions after seeing this

Hell these situations are dangerous and not just from the animal either

And another, this lion has already been shot when it charges

Both these lions were wounded before they charged.

1st Video was in Botswana and the 2nd in South Africa

Though in the first video the lion is coming on three legs it was a good thing that lion was brained, as in my case the lion would have killed me just from the impact.

The shooter did good.

Hi shortandfat. I have never seen those before and they scared the shit out of me from 8000 miles. Was interested in going on Safari till I saw those. Am sticking to roe deer stalking now. Mind you one did give me a nasty stare the other day.

The second one is a canned hunt and has been discussed at length......

I have not seen the first one though?

There is room for all of God's creatures....right next to the mashed potatoes.

Not your typical hunt. But I'd want a guarantee of a lion charge.

Sorry showbart the best I could do is a loud bark with perhaps, a stamping of a foot.
