[Jenson71]

Like playing Marco Polo with a shark, hunting lions doesn't seem like the smartest idea.

Lions? That shits just for braggin' rights.

[KCCHIEFS27]

I was hoping they were surrounded by a pride and the others were laying low. Once they saw the big guy go down, they come in out of nowhere and rip apart each and every one of those guys. Don't tell me you guys haven't seen this one either. Can't even see the bastard coming..go to the 1:45 mark..things get CRAZYY.

That sucks. With any luck, somebody will just blast that asshole the next time he goes to the gas station.

It's a MFing lion that had a cub in the cage with it. Just exactly what the hell did you expect it to do?

Ideal video:

1) Dipshit(s) voluntarily put selves in situation with lion.
2) Said dipshit(s) do something to anger lion without being provoked such as shoot it or get in an enclosed space with it and its young.
3) Lion kills and eats aforementioned dipshit(s), takes a nice dump for its trouble, goes about its merry way.

How fuckin' true.

[Jerm]

Whoever that idiot was shooting that lion in the cage needs to head back to the range lol. Took him what, 4 shots from point blank range to disable the lion? Sheesh, what a moron. He had a square on shot with the front of the lion's head...should've been one shot and humanly done.

I think he was using a .22 caliber.

[Delano]

One time I went to a friend of a friend's parent's house and he had this huge room filled with stuffed wildlife. The taxidermy was incredible, I'll give him that, but the whole display was rather sickening. The guy probably had a hundred pieces in this room. The centerpiece was two lions attacking a water buffalo. There were several monkeys on the walls and he had a baboon set up with a candy bowl in it's hands. WTF is the point. He was driven to within shooting distance in an open-top vehicle and pulled the damn trigger. There is no sportsmanship in that.

The whole thing was a huge self pat on the back and revolting.

[notorious]

It takes a big man to take out an animal with technology. I always chuckle when a person puts themselve in a bad situation when they start in a far superior position when it comes to game hunting. Hunt for food is OK, but hunting to say,"Look how great I am, shooting an animal with a gun from long range" is just Fuggin stupid.

They have a Check-weapons-at-the-Gate policy.

[Groves]

I've never understood hunting of something simply to kill it. If you want to eat it, great, but to get your rocks off killing it is strange.

It makes as much sense as hitting a little white ball around or two men hitting each other in a ring until one can't go on. Or even 11 men combatting 11 others to move some inflated leather thing.

If you understand competition, it makes complete sense.

I think you're just against the killing part, or maybe just the senseless killing part. So am I, but I'm not sure what that has to due with a regulated african lion hunt.

They don't just give away these lion hunting permits, ya know. They're not like prizes from some ski-ball tickets.

Now, whether the regulators are giving out too many permits, that's something to consider.

[Jilly]

I don't get hunting, period. How can someone shoot and kill something so beautiful?

[Groves]

We for sure agree on the beautiful part. Likely we agree that we want to do whatever it takes to keep many many of these animals around. Robust and healthy prides.

I love my trees. I think they're beautiful, too. In the interest of my tree's long term health, I *need* to cut off some of the branches. That's the way it is with trees.

Animals are not trees, but pursuing the long term health of a predator population in most cases *necessitates* the removal of some animals. That's the way it is.

What do you have against the prevention of starving and sick animals?

[Jilly]

Aren't lions going extinct though?

I don't see how "offing" the predator helps its population?

[Groves]

It's quite possible that lions are being over hunted, and if that's true, it needs to stop immediately. Why kill off a great species?

[Groves]

I don't see how "offing" the predator helps its population?

It's the same way that "offing" a branch of a tree actually can make it (the remaining tree) healthier. It's a big picture decision.

If you cut off all the branches from a tree, though, it dies. If that's what's happening to the lions, we'd better change the way we regulate the permits. No question.

Well there is a caveat to what you said.

It depends on how the branch is cut - flush cuts are now known to cause severe decay issues, etc... The field of arboriculture is rapidly evolving. I'm not sure ALL the African parks and preserves have the best science motivating their decisions.

Aldo Leopold got it right when it comes to hunting ethics 75 years ago.

[Delano]

Aren't lions going extinct though?

They are listed as vulnerable.

From wiki:

Most lions now live in eastern and southern Africa, and their numbers there are rapidly decreasing, with an estimated 30–50 percent decline over the last two decades.<sup id="cite_ref-IUCN_5-1" class="reference"></sup>

Currently, estimates of the African lion population range between 16,500 and 47,000 living in the wild in 2002–2004,<sup id="cite_ref-118" class="reference"></sup> down from early 1990s estimates that ranged as high as 100,000 and perhaps 400,000 in 1950.

The cause of the decline is not well-understood, and may not be reversible. Currently, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are considered the most significant threats to the species. The remaining populations are often geographically isolated from each other, which can lead to inbreeding, and consequently, a lack of genetic diversity.

Not really a shining endorsement for culling any of the animals.

Well, when it’s headed straight for you at close range like that you can pretty much aim straight for its heart.
If it’s running left to right, or visa versa, you have to “lead it” or aim in front of it by a few inches to a few feet depending on how far it is away, the speed your prey is moving at, and the speed of the bullet your rifle fires.
Hope that helps.

[Radar Chief]

You're supposed to hold your breath as you squeeze the trigger slowly.

Eaten by hyenas, wild dogs, other lions, carrion eaters. Is that what you mean?

No Im asking. My understanding of most African hunts was the the natives do use all the meat from everything that is shot. Ive never been to Africa but know some people who have.

The natives may eat some of the kills but that doesn't mean the hunt is done in a sporting manner. Same as canned hunts in big Texas ranches.

So you dont really know. Me either.

What animals do they do these "canned hunts" for and what makes them a "canned hunt"?

Interesting. This would lead me to believe that any "trophy hunt" is a "canned hunt". But that does not allow for Trophy hunting in fair chase situations to be anything but "canned". Looking at the information your google search turned up it seems "canned hunt" is even used to describe pheasant or quail hunting where pen raised birds are stocked are considered canned hunts.

The term is being used to paint any hunting with a very negative sweep of the brush. There are many places that do pen raised bird releases in open hunting situations and they are close to home not in Texas. The anti(insert cause here) hyperbole and labeling of things "they" dont like certainly does not make the anti side a credible source now does it.

Well I'm not sure how familiar you are with Pheasant behavior, but once you release them from a cage in an area of cover, they will stay put (within a reasonable amount of time) until scared up by a dog or hunter. That kind of makes it a canned hat.

Check the wikipedia entry and not the Humane Society webpage on canned hunts.

I'm not even talking about the "anti" thing you are; that's an argument you can use in the DC forum but not here. Read Leopold's 'Wildlife in American Culture' and his 'Conservation Esthetic' if you'd like something from a sportsman.

I had a bunch of articles from a Human Dimensions in Wildlife class but I recycle them and I don't have the time to bring them up.

You are undoubtedly a huge swirling black hole of stupidity. Any glimmer of intelligence that approaches you is surely torn apart by the intense tidal forces of dumbassery that lie beyond the event horizon of collapsed sub-intellect that comprises your being.

The lion that got shot must have had an I.Q. thousands of times greater than your own.



I don't think so because I would have run the opposite direction!

That is a canned hunt.

Unless they're pen-raised.

A pen-raised pheasant will pretty much not take flight unless you step on it.

You bring your dog with you, you get to within about 10 feet of the bird, generally you're able to actually see the stupid thing while it's still on the ground and finally it will fly if your dog barks at it a couple times.

Though to pick nits, your characterization isn't quite accurate. They'll run like a sumbitch until they hit open field and/or a blocker. Even then, they still might not take off.

Yes, that is the point I was trying to make. I don't understand the thrill in that at all. I have the same problem with road hunting.

Also, the idea of placing pheasants would not be successful if they ran off as soon as they were released. My characterization was representing the bird before they hear a predator.

Are you a hunter?

Road hunting and poaching are both very wrong.

At one point I was an avid hunter. Now, the only time I shoot a gun is pest control at my grandparents place. My father fills one or two Whitetail deer tags each year and I eat some of the products.

Believe it or not, road hunting is legal in South Dakota. Disgusting.

I can't understand why anybody would want to shoot a road!

It takes a big man to take out an animal with technology. I always chuckle when a person puts themselve in a bad situation when they start in a far superior position when it comes to game hunting. Hunt for food is OK, but hunting to say,"Look how great I am, shooting an animal with a gun from long range" is just Fuggin stupid.


Yeah, The smart thing to do is to see how close you can get,:rolleyes:
