I'm just curious and would like to some pics if you have them. You have to have some big cahoness to get within 20 yards of a Lion and stick them with an arrow, either that or a lack of brain cells. I don't care if you have gun back up or not.
I'm not sure I'd want to try it myself. To tell the truth I think they are just to majestic and beautiful an animal to shoot for a trophy, but nothing against you guys that do hunt them. My brother went after a Polar Bear years ago with a #100 compound, he never got one but I kept telling him he was nuts. What these animals can cover a 100 yards in about 5 seconds?
I know a guy that hunted Africa back in the hey days of the 40's & 50's(with a gun)man he had a lot of cool pictures and stories to share. I couldn't believe how many pictures of natives he had that were eaten by Lions. I can't imagine hunting where you have to worry about being the hunted or turning into tonights supper.
I think hunting in Africa or hunting Grizzles or Polar bears is the only real true hunting there is. It has to be a total rush to get within 20 yards of an animal that can kill you in seconds if he decides to do so.
