Anything I say concerning this incident are my opinions and my opinions alone.

What you say about the lion hunting industry in SA may be true. I am not sure how many if any of your conclusions based on your knowledge of that industry apply to this incident. I think you have misread the intent of posting the clip and therefore you may have drawn inaccurate conclusions about the hunter from that. There was no intent to show bravado.
Whether there was a need to shoot or not and if there was not a need to shoot is where we disagree. The PH and the hunter are the only ones who know all the circumstances regarding their decision to take that shot. You likened the shooting of the lion in another post as similar to a drive-by with an antique weapon. If there were any “crimes” committed in shooting from the vehicle I see it more as a traffic infraction therefore it is less a concern for me as it is to you. I don’t know if we can reconcile that.
