NAMIBIA: My Leopard Hunt Begins

.......................We did have some fun this morning as we spotted some kudu.

................ My ph said he was mature but we could do better. ............. I told him I want to pass as we have a lot of time still. ......................


Told you that you would be Plains Game hunting. Trophy hunting and passing stuff on top of it.

True Africa: "Making a Plan"
 
Good luck today! I hope that big tom gives you a shot opportunity.
 
Whack & stack!
 
Thanks guys. I have to laugh though my PH has a heavy German accent and his English is so so. I thought he said tomorrow we hunt his farm. What he meant after is was translated was on the property we are hunting there is a bait being hit so we will be hunting here but near his farm. Who cares as long as we have an active bait! Looking forward to tomorrow.
 
Knock 'im out John!! Good luck in the days ahead.
 
Hope you slay a monster.

All the best.
 
Put ol'spots in the salt Johnny! Thanks for keeping us updated.

Finding lots of spoor of big cats traveling to water holes while hunting. They seem to have no interest in the baits right now. Not good news. Keep on trying. While driving this morning my PH slammed on the brakes and said big kudu. We jumped out of the truck sticks in hand and my 300 wsm. My ph pointed to the kudu 225 yards away. My first shot hit him a bit low but you could tell he was sick. He stepped out and I shot him in the shoulder, he ran 20 yards and dropped. I have my first African trophy. 53/52 inches of free range kudu.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.
