Jim in Anchorage Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Ahh. Here Kitty Kitty- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9D64GKHhBw Thats how you handle cats.
The Poojer Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 i'm not watching that if they shoot a lion.... Ahh. Here Kitty Kitty- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9D64GKHhBw Thats how you handle cats.
Simon Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 i'm not watching that if they shoot a lion.... Would you watch it if they didn't shoot a lion? Cuz if he didn't, that guy was about 2 seconds from being shredded.
Chef Jim Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Would you watch it if they didn't shoot a lion? Cuz if he didn't, that guy was about 2 seconds from being shredded. Wished he gun had jammed. That I'd pay to see.
Jim in Anchorage Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 Wished he gun had jammed. That I'd pay to see. Fine English rifles do not jam sir. Perhaps you had a unsatisfactory experience with a rifle from the Continent? You city slickers never fail to amaze me. A life or death shot pulled off, and you wish the gun jammed?
mrags Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Would you watch it if they didn't shoot a lion? Cuz if he didn't, that guy was about 2 seconds from being shredded. if you go hunting its only fair that the hunted have a chance to win sometimes. Otherwise it's kind of pointless. I too wish his gun had jammed. Would have served the millionaire right. The same millionaire that flew to Africa to hunt big game. The same millionaire that paid some big game expert to escort him around in a Land Rover with AC to where these animals are.

The hunter that dumped thousands into a impoverished African country is bad.
mrags Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Uh huh. The hunter that dumped thousands into a impoverished African country is bad. im sure the people starving for food and fresh water saw much of that money. Lol. Don't be ridiculous. Edited March 7, 2013 by mrags
Jim in Anchorage Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 im sure the people starving for food and fresh water saw much of that money. Lol. Don't be ridiculous. Yeah the guides never hire locals. The huge permit money all goes to the guide. Think, then type.
mrags Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Yeah the guides never hire locals. The huge permit money all goes to the guide. Think, then type. i highly doubt Mumbato gets any cut of that cash for his little tribe. He might get 5lbs of the worst meat to take with him back to his hut when he's done but that's probably it. The permit money all goes to the corrupt governments there. Simmer down. We have been getting along for quite a while lately. No need to get all aggressive towards me here. Facts are closer to the African tribesmen don't receive much or anything from big game hunts than your guess. Last I checks, your not calling a tribe in Africa somewhere to take you on some hunt. Your calling the rich white man from South Africa that has made a living for himself in Africa off the locals. He's the one that drives the nice new Land Rover for you from the second you get off the plane until the second you get back to the airport to leave.

You city slickers never fail to amaze me. A life or death shot pulled off, and you wish the gun jammed? You like watching lions get killed I enjoy watching cowards get killed. You put yourself in a life and death position don't get mad at me if I delight in seeing your death.

Well then maybe the locals need to get off their ass and use the rich resources they have. Are not the colony days over?
mrags Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Well then maybe the locals need to get off their ass and use the rich resources they have. Are not the colony days over? just like Chef said. I do not care about some rich bastard that goes to Africa to hunt a lion and puts himself in a position to be injured or killed. If he was, its on him. He Didnt have to take that trip. FWIW, I'm basing my opinions on the fact that the company I used to be an Inside Sales Rep for, I had a boss that was a 4 ft tall rich bastard that would try and intimidate people because he was possibly the most egotistical person I've ever met. He used to go on African hunts all the time. Was absolutely hilarious to see pictures of a 4ft tall man barely visible behind the massive bodies of African animals. Him attempting to straddle them and pull their horns back. Absolutely comical. He was not a true hunter. He paid some guy to take him around to kill these animals. Suprised he didn't pay someone to shoot for him.

Looks like I won, sorry to disappoint you.

Chef Jim Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Good. Been in some situations where it was me or the Brown bear. Looks like I won, sorry to disappoint you. Was there a camera rolling because if not I would have missed nothing had you lost. Try taking on the bear with a level playing field next time tough guy.

Nor do I care to pass on my Alaska hunting stories to someone who cannot understand, much less appreciate them. Go on, bait me. You will never understand a Grizz trying to rip your head off till you have shoved a gun in his face and blew his brains all over your sleeping bag. Enough. Now go shop for grapes and let me be a coward. Edited March 7, 2013 by Jim in Anchorage
The Poojer Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 No I wouldn't want to see that either Would you watch it if they didn't shoot a lion? Cuz if he didn't, that guy was about 2 seconds from being shredded.
