I went over to the site from which this video originated. That is where I got the best laughs on what to do during such a crisis. It's a good thing the Duke is no longer with us. He would have had to hang'em up after judging the experience that manifested itself in the comments sections. In Zim, the PH carried a Ruger Redhawk in .44 magnum with a 4 inch barrel. He believed that it was his 2nd last line of defence. A fixed blade knife(and never a folding blade) being the last.

When we were closing in on a large, maned lion, his sagatious advice was thus:

Walter, whatever you do, do not fucking miss! Walter, do not fuck this shot up!

I use Uncle Mike's lens covers on many of my scopes. My PH removed them during dangerous game hunts as he believed during a charge they would block out the target at the last moment during a charge. I had not thought of it until he mentioned it and described what a charge was like. Many times you are shooting over the scope, just pointing and shooting. You will not, and cannot , hit what you cannot see.




Had a very similar experience in hunting very thick stuff for buff--as to the lens covers--also removed the sling as it can get caught up in the brush..

As to the comments on the other web-site...only furthers my previous comments..one can get a lot of advice on these web sites--BUT, one has to sort out the BS from fact...

IMHO, of one does not, one can get oneself in a lot of trouble in a hurry when actually out there hunting the dangerous stuff..fortunately, there are a few on this site that are PH's or have some practical experience..which is very valuable..

As to shooting a leopard from a blind not sporting..."bite me"..
Armchair indeed....
