the lions, those were different. they don't have to be shot to wanna come atcha! the buffalo hunts were fun but i truly wouldn't put them on the level of the lion for danger, but i was thinking last night about this and i would be alot more nervous on a lion with a 10mm despite it being a much smaller animal than i would a buffalo. i may be the only one but....i want the result on the lion gary got when he hit it with that 454.
