Lion Hunting.....someone had a lucky day

[phantomak47]

After posting that last video that showed hippo and cape buffaloes charging the camera, H&H made an excellent comment that Mark Sullivan did not try to make a lion charge or happen to be there when a lion charged during a hunt. I think that this video is clearly why he doesn't try that with lions.


I have to admit the first time I watched this I was somewhat shocked, as you will see someone was either very lucky or someone upstairs was looking out for him.

Those things can cover some serious ground.

Phantom,

We had a HUGE brewhaha over that video a couple of years ago on this site.

So I'll save commenting about it here as I've said all I'm going to say about it already.

The thing that scares me in that video isn't the lion so much as the cross fire when he gets in amongst the people.

It is shocking that no one was killed by a bullet. Watch it in slow motion again and watch for the cross fire.
