Capstick: Hunting the African Lion

A quintessential adventurer reminiscent of a bygone era, Peter Capstick brings audiences face to face with the world's most exotic and deadly creatures. Gifted with storytelling acumen, Capstick was an intrepid explorer on a quest to meet the world's most ferocious game animals in order to recount his experiences in breathtaking detail. If a lion ever reaches you, the odds of your survival are small. He may weigh 450 pounds, he may not even be wounded: yet when he comes, his charge will be low and fast, and he may bring friends with him. Lion hunting in Botswana is conducted by tracking. Baiting is not legal and relying on a chance sighting is not productive. You hunt lions by finding tracks, determining the sex and the size, and then following the tracks of the big mate.
