Leopard attack

[groach1234]

If think he was one of the PHs and as for the reaction I would be squealing like a pig if a leopard did that to me as he will know leopards aim the claw at your stomach as it was clearly trying to do. But it the chance what you are hunting will be hunting you thus levelling the playing field that makes it appealing to me but thats just how I feel about it all.

Not such a tough guy now! American starts crying after Leopard attack.
Hunter goes after a wounded leopard, but then pratically wets himself when it attacks him. Serves him right IMHO!

Reveals a great deal more about integrity and character than the video does.

Each to their own if you ask me, it does not really appeal to me to shoot them,BUT after having been eye to eye with a lioness, (less than 6' away in the back of an open sided toyota) it must take a certain amount of balls to go and finish the job off, or even start it in the first place.
All this talk of bloodsports is surely doing us no favours. After all some people do not agree with shooting deer etc.

errr....... ...stalking is a blood sport...imho...

To be honest the guy had every right to squeal, he got his position all wrong and the Leopard had him hands down. That bite was 'dead centre' and the back leg clawing would have really, really hurt a lot. Agree, though he doesn't actually sound American but his mate is; AND he really is his mate as he was almost Whiskas without the rapid kill shot.

Skip to 5:05 in this vid if you want to see what I think a real bloodsport is:
Absolutely sick! If you compare stalking to this then.......
Takes about 20 stabs to kill the poor bull.

I'm personally against blood sports. I hate dog fighting, cock fighting, badger baiting, bull fighting, but I understand what you're saying about the bull getting a stab at the matador.

Hi Joshua
What do you class as blood sports because an anti would see anything where an animal is hurt or killed as a blood sport is fox hunting a blood sport, pheasant shooting, falconry, wildfowling,beagling? To me there is no difference working a terrier on fox badger or rat except that working a terrier to badger is now illegal so i would not be interested in badger. I have been to bullfights and cock fights and had a thoroughly good time but each to his own eh

I'd class this as a true blood sport: If you skip to about 5 minutes in then you'll see what I mean. I don't know who could comapre stalking with this.

Something I wouldnt put my hand up to even if i had done it or even if not done in this country as its illegal to participate by being there, maybe you may wish to ammend your admission

---important lesson---

if what you hunt can kill you, make sure you kill it first and ideally from a safe distance. Those guys were mental to get in that close

 

[centralbeltstalker]

yet again the stalking directory becomes a place to show of you tube rubbish

malc and john (both of whom i respect and like) need to start thinking about what this site is about.

i for one have had enough of these posts popping up.

look at the first butt and see where the shadows fall. look at shot two at least 26 mins 15 secs further up....

what do you thinks

frank

from 40 secs to 50 secs on recording

me thinks this has been a huge back track by the carrots doing the shot because the slack they got ?????​

MS, I don,t think its illegal to participate in a sport in another country where it is legal, other wise our jails would be full of people who went to spain on holiday and watched a bull fight.

The inference could be made such was participated in in respect to cock fighting in this country, and should be made more clearer in the post that such took place outside British Jurisdiction, and as such it wasnt, but there are people that are looking in who may wish to pursue open ended admissions on an open forum.
I thought there must be some explanation

Guys

Like it or lump it, look at any definition of blood sport and then try and argue that any form of shooting or stalking is not falling under that description.

The issue with the clip involving the bull fight surely has to be the prolonged suffering of the animal for the pleasure of spectators? I don't condone it and it should be banned. However, facts are facts, we do participate in blood sports but if it makes some of you feel better to give it another name, carry on. Just because we may claim that it is 'deer management' lets also be honest and admit that a certain amount of pleasure is taken from the hunt. Hunting falls under the definition of blood sport or perhaps now more commonly called field-sports (more acceptable???).

I have no interest in shooting a big cat nor could I understand the attraction in shooting an animal such as an elephant however, having watched a programme on the ethics and management of these large herds, they are doing EXACTLY the same as we are with our deer and applying the same principals. Certainly management, pleasure in the hunt? ... blood sport!! I don't find it unacceptable under these circumstances.

Gentlemen, if you cannot play nicely together then I shall close the thread. If you could manage to debate this topic without taking lumps out of each other I would be grateful,surely reasoned debate is not beyond you all. I have removed the links to the bull fighting as this is a stalking forum and they add nothing to the original post. This is not a closed forum, other people with a great many varying views also read this site, and not many of them do it for the love of stalking and field sports in general so less grist for their mill may be the best approach.

This piece of film has been mentioned and shown on the SD site before

Having hunted big game several times all I will add is that any one of the big five that is wounded is going to really mess your day up if it goes wrong!!

Also any wounded Leopard as a rule when charging will have a go at everyone, given the chance, and in this particular instance there were far too many people around to make it a safe situation.

Hunting big game in Africa, Asia or any other part of the world is no different to stalking in the UK in my opinion. Any hunting whether it be dangerous game or not is still hunting, its just that the British happen to call it stalking and hunting is chasing foxes on horse back, or at least I think thats how most folk class it.

 

[mash67]

i thought we called them field sports and the anti's called them blood sports
