Self defense. I saw the whole thing. Trust me.

[JOHANNES801]

Yep,I did the blood thing when I was 10.
If we line a bunch of dik dik up how many would my 70lb pull bow go through?

[Prodigal Son]

Hmmm. It's an odd thing really. A deer that you could cook over a fire using your arrow as a spit.

Thanks! Unfortunately, though I have QuickTime 6.3, a message comes up saying that it requires something not available from the QuickTime download site and just plays the music. Any suggestions?

Whooeeeh for William. The kid is a keeper in my book. The sacred rite of blooding the hunter for their first kill is an ancient one back to time immoral.

Our youngest daughter was 14 when she took her first deer, right betwixt the eyes at a true 100 long paces with a .54 caliber traditional side lock muzzleloader. She was blooded on the forehead with a + and has passed on the hunting tradition to our grandchildren, including our grandson who at age twelve last year took his, antelope, deer, and elk. He too was blooded for his accomplishments.

Masai warrior Legei, 18, said he taught William how to hunt the animal using a 7ft- spear made from acacia wood.

He added: "Then we took him out hunting and he crept up like we do on the first prey he saw, a fully- grown dik-dik.

"Using the Masais' silent approach, he followed it, took aim and speared it in one go. I was proud of him.

Good show, Wills!!

Hunting is killing for fun. Killing for fun is sick. Nothing else to be said.

Sniff...sniff...

Killing for fun is sick. Supporting killing for fun in the name of "manhood" is immature. Stick to "action" sports on television, friend.

[warchild9]

Oh, and I'm an ex-hunter.

[demlosers]

Sniff...sniff...

[woofie]

Might as well hunt Chihuahuas

[warchild9]

I've found that most "manly" hunters (like those on FR) would piss their pants if someone truly manly challenged them to a "go in the woods with a stick" as the English call it.

A Bambi....send him to Nevada and see how he does with a paint ball gun.....

[dalereed]

I consider bambi's in this country camp meat!

[warchild9]

I'm sorry for you. You must be compensating for something.

Hunting is killing for fun
For much of rural Africa hunting is a part of everyday life.

prince william should stop acting like a little twit and do something useful. killing helpless animals is a pathetic way for this overprivileged little schmuck to spend his time. he should be setting an example as long as he and his family are mere figureheads living on an allowance from the british people.

[warchild9]

Defending a member of the royal family killing a dik dik is defending killing for fun. Killing for food when you have no choice is obtaining supper. In America (with the exception of Appalachia--I know, I've been there), hunting is killing for fun. And killing for fun is sick.

Dear heart, in that part of the world meat for the table does not come from Piggly Wiggly. Trust me, if William did not personally do so, someone ate this delicious tidbit. Just because Will may have derived pleasure from pulling off a difficult piece of business does not make it evil of itself. Unless of course you fit the old definition of a Pilgrim as someone who lives in fear that someone, somewhere might be having fun.
