Trophy hunting is for loosers. Want to me a man, go mountain lion all by yourself
My friend please take a look at the atttached photo. And don't think that's the only Mt lion I've ever hunted not by a long shot pard.....I've hunted dozens of cats as a guide as hunter and as a depredation shooter.
The only dangerous thing about Mt Lion hunting is terrian you do it in. Mt Lions are for the most part plum docile. But you probably didn't know that did you? Otherwise you wouldn't have made this unbelivably missinformed statment.
The "hunt" is not even a sport. To call it a sport is like calling rape a make out session. I am contacting the animal right authority in regard to this.
Just curios who is the "animal rights authority"?
Animal rights activists are radical groups of illinformed urban idiots who want to take away the rights of humans and hunters the world over. They have no authority. They are private citzens with notthing more than an opinon and a stupid damaging one at that. But I suspect you probably know all about these groups don't ya pal.
I hope your personal interest in this doesn't conflict with your judgement.
Nobody here has any personal interest in this lion hunt. It's a random video that was posted . We didn't film it shoot the lion or even attend the event. And we have no idea who these guys are.
The lion was caged in, declawed, and probably has plastic caps on its teeth. It was shot and hit multiple times before reaching the man. A real lion would have stood ground to finish off one guy, but this cat didn't know what to do.
Lets try and break this one down....I went to the acurrate arms site and read all this same B.S. that does not make it reliable research. I don't know about you but if I was inclined to pay big bucks to hunt a canned lion I don't think I'd be very happy if my "trophy" had all that cosmetic surgery done to it would you? I mean most lion skin rugs are done with the claws out. It wouldn't look very good with out them!!
Beides if it was a pen raised cat why would they need to do any of that stuff in the first place it'd be tame wouldn't it? The reason that the client wasn't scratched worse is really quite simple. The cat missed him because the PH wallopped him right before he leaped. Period.
For all of you guys who noticed the Big fence what does this really mean? Well it could mean one of two things
1. The possibility that this cat was released into an enclosure and then shot.
2. If you've ever been to South Africa you would probably have noticed that the property boundries between private land and a park or other private game reserves are usually high fenced that is how they keep undesirable animals from crossing onto the private land or visa versa. So the presence of the high fence, while suspicious, is not even close to proof that this is a 100% canned hunt. I'm not saying that it's not or that it is I'm just laying out the facts.
Lastly and I'm sure your ready for me to shut up......
For all of you guys who criticize the legitimatcy of this hunt due to the lions actions I suggest you watch some lions in the wild. This is fairly common lion behavior they are curios and they don't usually just take off without a second look and especially if the cat in question is a current or previous.
park cat.
Gee kind of reminds me of a particular species of deer that live in the west..........In fact I rarely if ever have deer that I have harvested not doNE almost the exact same thing as that lion. They bust you, look at you, trot a bit then give that final look before taking off. I guess all of the guys here who only see deer in full flight for just a moment are just hunting different than I. Like with the wind to thier backs or some such!!!!
last question for Asianthug47,
You state that you hunt ground hogs. Do you eat them or are you just some loser trophy hunter who shoots them for sport?
