That's a whopper
 
Wow, what a monster!!
 
He hasn't missed a meal. Wonder the area and what he's been eating.
 
I would like to see pictures of his teeth and know his skull size
 
WOW....I would bet that it one be one largest taken in Zimbabwe and score in the top 20 if not the top 10. This strictly based on the weight and size of it's tail.
 
what he's been eating.
Whatever he wants. As much as he wants. As often as he wants.......
Congrats to the hunter and P.H. Cat of a lifetime. I bet they didn't have a discussion about age, sex, etc...
 
I wonder if that is the same Wade Lemon who was sentenced to jail in Utah for his hunting guide practices.
 
Not sure if it was taken in Zim or in Shaun Buffee’s Botswana area in conjunction with Nel Safaris. It’s just speculation, but I’ve seen photos of the cat also on Nel Safaris’ social media and they seem to run their dog hunts strictly in Botswana.

WTF.....does this lemon dude have to do with this leopard......

The photo is water marked and it was booked through his booking agency/outfit

He’s a known criminal hunter? Specifically with cats in the US.

Why are you so dense.
Always with the “….” Like a 13 year old girl. Save your attitude please

Well obviously if this lemon dude had anything to do with it what so ever than the cat was obviously illegally taken!..... Or at least that was the attempted inference that I gathered from the post.

Just like the outdoor life headline "The outfitter who guided Donald Trump Jr." ..... so to infer that Don Jr. is an unethical hunter who hires unethical outfitters; why else would you mention Don Jr. in a title about an incident that had NOTHING to do with him?

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
