Good one, Vikram.

Found another one in the 'related videos'

Pran, the first video was taken when the lady on the left woke up the big kitty with an ill placed shot.It's one of the three the PHs who stood/kneeled and waited until he touched the Lion muzzle to muzzle to down him.

The stench in the air wasn't just gun powder and blood.LOL.


Re the second video, it's an old one.It was a canned hunt belived to have been done in Texas.It was decried by most people as very unsporting and inhumane. I agree with them and wished the feline got at least one of them.

Was unaware of that.

>I agree with them and wished the feline got at least one of them.

Me too. From what I saw in the video, the guy seemed all right and got back to his feet.

No bloody way. It takes experience to keep your cool in such a situation.

Pran, your link only shows the latter half of the video. The first half clearly shows a fence.

Okay. So that proves what Vikram said- it was a canned hunt.
