Wow. The first thing that crossed my mind was that the lion was doing what a lot of folks do when hunting in a blind. Possibly waiting to see if you walk by, or waiting to ambush. Yikes.

We had the recent thread on brush guns, and discussed bullet defections etc. It looks like you had to clip one limb, and powdered through another. Clearly, a situation where you had one shot, and one shot only. Chalk one up for the "brush" gun ;^)

I am guessing that was your son holding your gun later in the video. Not sure if he was there for the entire stalk, but wondering what he thought about it?

Thanks for linking the video. That was enjoyable to watch.
