The latest was or was lying in wait to ambush. to the Kalahari Desert near Vryburg, South Africa. There, I But we gestured in agreement that we needed to move to our was to have an encounter with what we all probably have heard left, then proceeded that direction. After moving an additional about, and fewer have experienced. five yards, I felt the authoritative grab at my shirt collar. At This trip, I was to hunt a lioness in April. On previous the same moment, I saw the unforgettable face of the lioness dangerous game hunts were three cape buffalo, a leopard, and a through the acacia bush that was sitting on top of an ant hill. 69-pound African elephant in the Greater Kruger. She was stalking us! Her eyes were fixed on me. An intense This hunt began with the sighting of a beautiful, very large rush of adrenalin came over me that was way over the level I white lioness that wasn’t at all keen of our driving through had already experienced on this stalk. At this point, we were her territory. Her behavior was a good indication of an eight yards from the lioness and “well inside the red zone,” as encounter to come. described by a tracker later, who also said that we were very lucky that we weren’t charged. The grab was Fanie Steyn, pulling me away and to my left. Rifles remained trained on the lioness as we moved. We slowly stepped away to a distance of 16 yards and moved to our left to find a clear shooting lane. The lioness rotated slowly as we moved to always keep herself set for a killing charge on us. She assumed we hadn’t yet seen her. When we stopped, I was asked if I could take the shot. I said, “Yes.” But all I could see was the lioness’ head and face peering over the remaining ant hill looking at us. I then said, “I’m shooting now.” The supporting rifles moved forward slightly on both sides of me. I put the front sight on her nose, knowing the bullet would impact above the bead. I eased pressure on the trigger until it fired, though I never felt the massive recoil. The lioness was hit, and clearly was a central nervous system Author with his lioness shot. She fell immediately on her side without movement.
