Big cat poacher is mauled to death and EATEN by the pride of lions he was hunting Date: February 12, 2018 11:37AM |
A big cat poacher has been killed and eaten by the pride of lions he was hunting at a private game reserve in South Africa.
The hunter was heard screaming for help as he was attacked at the Ingwelala Private Nature Reserve in Hoedspruit outside Phalaborwa.
But the lions quickly killed their victim and devoured most of his body before being chased off, leaving his head untouched.
Two .456 big game rifles and ammunition were found at the scene and that is the weapon of choice used by those hunting big game - especially elephant and rhino in the bush.
'I cannot say if it was poachers as the matter is under investigation but that is their weapon of choice and they usually work in groups of three and work under cover of darkness. Two sets of footprints have been found running away and obviously the dead and eaten man.'
Mr Lynham said there were no anti-poaching groups in the area at the time and nobody was working in the area.
But he added that, despite being speculation 'it would seem very possible that you have poetic justice here.'

There is no ".456" cartridge that I am aware of that is anyone's choice for anything...
But, this deserves a "That's a good kitty!" at the very least.

The .460 Weatherby Magnum is a belted, bottlenecked rifle cartridge, developed by Roy Weatherby in 1957. The cartridge is based on the .378 Weatherby Magnum necked up to accept the .458-inch (11.6 mm) bullet. The original .378 Weatherby Magnum parent case was inspired by the .416 Rigby. The .460 Weatherby Magnum was designed as an African dangerous game rifle cartridge for the hunting of heavy, thick skinned dangerous game.

.456 up to .460 is only 4 thousands of an inch. A .458 Weatherby could work and it could be just the writer's error, writing ".456".

Pretty sure they're talking about .458 Winchester Mag. That's a popular round for big game in Africa. Could also be a the SoCom .458, but not many Lions are wearing body armor.
Here's a video of IraqiVeteran8888 shooting one against defenseless pumpkins:

Although unlikely, it could possibly by a .458 air gun. Yes, they do exist.

I know what they meant... point is, if they can fornicate up a simple caliber designation without catching it, why should I trust anything they write?
Most likely, they mean a .458 Win Mag or one of the other dozen cartridges in the .458 "family", but NOT including the .460 Weatherby - which is a very expensive, rare, and "overkill" cartridge even for much larger game than lions.

The .456 bit in the story is a direct quote. So if wrong, it is not the writer's mistake.

That's how fake news is born. Not verifying quotes, or stories that might be pure fiction.

I don't want to get this moved to the other side but fake news is not the same as shoddy reporting. Fake news is intentional and meant to deceive or provoke.
However, I won't argue against the guy being quoted not knowing what he's talking about. Nor would I expect the best reporters to be assigned to cover the African bush.
