DG Stopping Rifle - Double vs Bolt

[bsterns]

Virgil, that was definitely not a canned hunt. I got all my info from Brian. He was not hunting for lions at the time of the adventure. He was either after cape buffalo or elephant at the time. He goes to Africa about 3 times a year. Hunts only dangerous game. He has shot a number of buffalo and elephant. I personally am not experienced on the big 5 of Africa. I would like to go after them but I would not want to walk up on a big rogue lion eating. They were a little too bold for my thinking. I think Brian wanted to make a video and he got one. Maybe more than he bargained for. When I saw the pictures right after he got back I was truly shocked and amazed at them. It was one of the scariest stories I have heard. They don't have any canned hunts for African lion in Texas to my knowledge but they might and I am sure they will. I did see a Cheeta in Namibia that was in a high fenced area. He tried to get at one of the bushmen opening the gate to the adjoining area. He was pretty mean but I would not feel it was fair chase to shoot one in that setting.
