True Jim, there's not alot of people out there saying how they can't live another day unless they have a delicious plate full of lion meat!!!
I don't eat it I don't shoot it!!
However to express my opinion I don't think I ever saw a PH that didn't carry a double rifle. Give the client the long shot with his bolt action rifle or whatever he's carrying but if he wounds that animal,which happens given the size of those animals and their temperment, everyone turns to the guy carrying the double rifle!!
