Terrific film footage!
I have hunted them on land and must agree that in comparison doing so was pretty 'wimpy'.

Just imagine how I feel now having hunted them from a nice high bank off of the river while one was in the water!!!!

Interesting old video.
The hippo becomes a pin cushion. Amazing the number of floats it is dragging. Looks like the guy with the rifle misses the brain from 15 feet.
Kind of reminds me of the hippo hunt in the old Africa Addio video.

Wheels, I agree with each of the points you made.
I realize it's off-topic and apologize, but I also find it unfortunate that in today's society the mid-60's film 'Africa Addio' has been slammed as nothing more than blatant racism. That's unfortunate. Even after nearly five decades I think in many ways the film remains an accurate depiction of what goes on in some areas of Africa today.

Not quite sure how filming people of any color doing what they do could possibly be racist? Fabricating something like this, yes, filming it and rebroadcasting it, no way.

Diamondhitch, I couldn't agree with you more. The ongoing campaign to point a finger and shout 'racism' to rationalize or diminish questionable behavior and also at times when highly illegal acts are involved has been very successful. Political correctness at its best.
However, the shouts of racism have now become so overused that many people are simply ignoring it as the "little boy who cried wolf" syndrome.
