Sometimes a hunt is easy by chance. The easy hunts of wild game free range make up for the failed hunts with no result. Other than being out there which is in itself a great reward.

This lion kill went easy. As I said "anti climatic".

The video poster admitted it was South African. And a captive bred lion.

Captive bred lions usual seem clueless, not knowing what they are doing. Lack the flight instinct and the vicious attack mode. I find their killing a bit disgusting.

I remember a video, a lion approached, it just sat, lay under a bush like this one. Never fled or reacted. Clueless. Was shot and just rolled over. Perhaps the same video?

If I booked a lion hunt and within a day just shot a tamish clueless lion, I'd more than disappointed, and feel more than a bit of shame.

I've hunted fenced plains game and deer. Sure fine for venison, a larder game farm. But as "wild" game they usually don't have it the same. Some species do seem to keep an instant flight mentality but there is still a fence.

It's up to the individual to choose but to me captive bred or fenced in small, medium sized paddocks, they're a trophy example animal, not a hunting fair chasse trophy.
