Many of those commenting on both sides will be at the DSC dinner in two weeks. I will say I respect all members commenting except for one.

I just hope my schedule doesn’t change.

You are using the argument that if lions didn’t have value the locals would kill them.

That has morning to do with cbl and the scenario on game ranches. The issue is not that we feel different , it’s that you are just talking about two different things. It will be hard to come to an understanding if that’s how people think it works.

We aren’t talking about two different things.

I think if you look at who likes your posts, and whose post you like, their are 3-4 people that always beat the same drum and never veer from their thoughts. It’s not a discussion, it’s an indoctrination.

I'm not sure I understand where you are taking this argument. Yes there is risk of taking a pride lion which would have negative affects on the pride. But that goes for all animals, is this any different to shooting a bull from a herd? It all loops around to ethical hunting practices that benefit the conservation of land and the future for that species. This is a non argument when comparing wild lions and CBL.

Hasn’t one of the main points been lions are different, and shouldn’t be compared to pheasants, kudu, or even buffalo?

Aĥ hell. We can keep this argument up for a few more pages. Let me start off with a few more hot button topics to get the blood flowing.
1. 404 Jeffery is no better than the 416 Rem Mag.
2. 458 Win Mag is an excellent DG cartridge.
3. Blaser R8 is an excellent hunting rifle.
4. Most people can't shoot big bore rifles or any double rifle as well as they can shoot a 375 or lesser bolt gun.
5. Most people have no business using a double rifle on their first DG hunt.

AND......GO!

Damn Toby458, you had to open up 5 more cans of worms!
On a serious note you just finished the book “ The Lions of Tsavo Exploring the Legacy of Africa’s Notorious Man - Eaters” it has quite a bit of information on lion biology, almost made me feel as if I was back in school. The book was written by Bruce D Patterson no relation to Colonel Patterson that killed the man-eaters.

Those are my opinions. I'm sure someone will come along shortly to dispute them. Lol!

Is a Blaser R8 adequate for dangerous game?

I KNEW IT! But the buffalo I shot with my R458 this year said he thought it was an excellent choice! Haha!

7x57 is only good for stopping house cats. But it does an excellent job at that!
