The video shows baseball's all-time home-run leader hunting down a whitetail deer in an alfalfa field three hours north of Edmonton, Alberta.
The video, which has a heart-thumping soundtrack, goes dark just before you hear a single rifle blast.
The words "To be continued" then flash onto the screen.
An accompanying Web photo, however, gives away the ending - showing a smiling Bonds crouching behind his trophy kill along with the quote, "One blast is all it took."
"I just want to tell everyone at Christensen Arms thanks for building such a tremendous rifle," the ex-Giant says in the Web text that accompanies the video. "Keep up the great work, and God bless."
And, in fact, Bonds is quite the hunter.
When a federal grand jury in San Francisco indicted Bonds last year on perjury and obstruction of justice charges for allegedly lying about steroids use, Bonds wasn't around - he was off hunting in Colorado.
Feel free to check out the video for yourself, at www. christensenarms.com.
