Almost all South African game ranches are high fence. The one where I shot the giraffe was so big that I only saw one part of the fence in 5 days of hunting. I don't know just how big was the lion property, but we chased the lion around a very large circle and only saw one corner.

And, no, the lion wasn't a worn out old beat up animal. I was told it had been on the ranch for some months.

I can't even afford a wild lion hunt, so I took what I could get.

John, you should try hunting dangerous game with a handgun ... Really fires up the senses!

If you will post some photos for me, I'll send the lion and giraffe files to you.
