Tootabi Lioness Hunt 2015

[Warbird782]

I am finally getting a chance to post this video. All photography and video were shot with my DSLR by an amateur who learned how to run my camera the morning of the hunt. I taught myself how to edit video while I made this video. Overall I am very happy with how it turned out.

I must give Loodt @Tootabi Hunting Safaris a huge thank you for a great hunt. I also would like to give Pieter Erasmus @Paw Print a thank you for playing a role in the hunt as well. Gentlemen we will share a camp again soon.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like you had a great hunt. Bit concerned that the scope was used by the PH's to look at whatever it was they were looking at. Not the safest way to do it. Hope you tipped them a Bino

like the video, warbird ......well done

 

[Billcollector]

That video was cool! Saw the same thing with the PH using the scope to look for the Cat holding the rifle up behind the others....someone needs to slap that guy! Anyway, exciting video and looks like it was an awesome time!

 

[Warbird782]

I get your concern gentlemen. I was the one who had the gun over me and the muzzle was well in front of me. It is hard to see it in the video but I was in no way unsafe at that moment.

Good cat there Warbird! Nice video editing! What rifle were you using?

 

[Warbird782]

@CAustin I was using Pieter's Musgrave 375 H&H.

 

[CAustin]

Well it did the trick sir! I see he was keeping that 500 NE of his pointed in the right direction.
Where were you guys for that hunt. In the Kalahari or down in the cape area?

 

[Warbird782]

Pieter was ready with the 500 Nitro and Seun with his 500 Jeff. I almost felt under gunned with those two 1/2" bores by my side. The hunt took place up in the Kalahari near Botswana. Here is a picture of the ammo from the two 500's and the 375.

 

[CAustin]

Yep big bullets!
Took my lioness up near Botswana also. Guy named Freddie owned the place we hunted. Nice two year old lodge with a great outdoor fire pit.
I know your proud of the lioness you got. It's a good cat.

@Warbird782 thanks for producing and composing such a great video. Videography was great, and for an amateur to do the filming I think it did turn out great, your hunt was unforgettable and would share a camp with you and @Paw Print any time again.

Take care bud, and be safe!

Warbird,
Loved the vid and pics. Especially the last one praying over your magnificent trophy! I think that video fired everyone up.
Regards,

Great video, brought me back to my lioness hunt last August. One heck of a thrilling hunt, I love your pictures of dragging the road. I regret not getting more footage of my hunt. You wanna talk about feeling under gunned, I shot my lioness with archery gear. Great video and thanks for sharing.

I get your concern gentlemen. I was the one who had the gun over me and the muzzle was well in front of me. It is hard to see it in the video but I was in no way unsafe at that moment.

That's not the one that worried me.

Glad you enjoyed your hunt.

Glad you enjoyed your hunt.

Nor was that the only worrisome time.
