I just returned home from my leopard hunt in Zimbabwe with Leloma African Hunting Safaris, which I booked thru Discount Africa Hunts. We hunted in the Save Valley Conservancy. This was my second trip for leopard, my first trip to Mozambique in 2019 was unsuccessful. Once I arrived we set 4 baits with Zebra and ended up with hits on three of them. I shot my cat on day 8 but it was actually 5 hunting days. I saw a lot of game in the area including Buffalo, elephant, & lion. This was a huge deal for me and an end of a long quest getting my leopard as it completed my Big 5/ Dangerous 7.

I used a PSE Carbon Mach 1 bow at 70#’s. Easton FMJ Injexion arrows with Spitfire Maxx head 1 3/4” cut all at around 500 grains. We built a tree blind and I shot him out of that. He went approximately 70-80 yds after the shot
 
Oh man, wow! Congratulations on a successful hunt, and with a bow. How far was the shot? Don't be shy, give us some more details of the hunt. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
