Jakkals Thats Ronny Crouse(sp) of Johan Calitz Safaris that made a very lucky shot. The short story is that a client had wounded the lion and Ronny plus several others were called upon to help sort things out. I believe Ronny wrote in up in some RSA publication. It was discussed at some length here on AR and Ronny even came on with a litte clarification of some speculations about the facts. Mark MARK H.

So who's who in the clip...did the man who was knocked down fire the fatal shot or one of the others? Dude, that was close!

The man that was knocked down fire the fatal shot. It hit the lion right between the eyes and brained it. It was dead instantly and collapsed in the lap on the guy that fired the fatal shot. I have it on tivo. You can slow mo and pause and see the bullet entry perfectly. | |||

Wow. Certainly gives one a good idea of just how fast things (bad things in particular) can happen. As as aside, I believe that was Santa Claus I heard ho-ho-hoing after the shot, yes?  KG ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

There was a good article in Peterson's Hunting this month by Boddington about a lion charge in a sugarcane field. He says he considers the lion the most dangerous of the big 5 and notes that you can't turn a lion charge with a gunshot, only stop a lion charge (hence, in his opinion, only the brain shot is effective) | |||

That's impressive! I almost didn't view it as I thought it was the old footage of the lion in the fence. This is some good footage. I bet he had to change his shorts on that one. _______________________________  | |||

Once a Lion decides to sort you out, it's only a matter of who gets sh*t on them, 'cause it is going to hit the fan.

They were showing the complete video leading up to this charge at SCI in Reno at John's booth. It was very exciting to watch the whole thing. | |||

No more questions about taking a 12GA or a 500Jeff after a wounded cat. Noway he could have stopped that lion with a shot gun!!!!

Do a search and you will find a lot of guys that said they would go after a lion or leopard with a shot gun. Gerhard Gerhard FFF Safaris Capture Your African Moments Hunting Outfitter (MP&LP) Proffesional Hunter (MP&LP) History guide Wildlife Photographer www.fffsafaris.co.za | |||
