I'd make the claim that hunting with a rifle is a remote operation! You pull a trigger here and 400 yards away something drops in its track. If you want REAL hunting it has to be mano y mano with a k

Paul, Well this is flame baiting if I've ever seen it! You know there will be strong reaction to the simple idea of killing a lion, whether you are in Africa or sitting in your easy chair at home. Th
