I remember seeing old footage of the late Shk Zayed. clearly he enjoyed it much much and was more involved in the hunt and totally looked at home. Those were the days, driving those old chopped Range rovers and Land rovers.

This looks very unnatural.

And yes its doing in style. You have no idea about the logistics and money which goes into these hunting trips. I know two people one is a Zanzibari ( now emarati ) and one pakistani who work on these hunts and the stories I've heard.. Sheesh.

No I'm not talking about technology. The "tech" show here isn't even half of what is actually used. Shk Zayed seemed very at home and comfortable out in the wild. Shk hamdan clearly looks out of his element.

4get the HUNT, the royal family actually had permission to land a 747 in pakistan and just go for a hunt lol talk about doing it in style :D

As for the HUNT, I prefer firing a shot gun, dont get it, sending a bird of prey behind a pigeon. I mean wheres the thrill and the excitement!! you actually arent doing anything, the bird does it and then you chop of the other birdies head.

Rudy you have no idea about the massive logistics behind these. 747 more like C130's and a squadron of them. Its a mobile city when they go out. And not only in Pakistan. Iran, eastern europe, Africa etc etc
