Bowhunting Hippo lots of action
It's a good thing that the bowhunter had a PH backing him up or he'd be the one floating in the water!

I never saw a vid of a one shot one kill bow hunt on big animals, did I miss em or am I right in thinking bowhunting is not suited for big animals ?
 
Check this one, great shot placement at quite some distance, one shot bow kill on Hippo...

Bee keeper - I am with you on this one, I wouldn't be showing my mates that first video after the hunt.
Sorry Jerome, not convinced - whilst I admire bow hunters for some really close up stalking, that one seemed to lack penetration IMHO.
Thank you for the videos though, lovely to watch and learn

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.
