No Promises

Landed in Windhoek on Monday June 1st. After the tedious visa process, made it to our guest house in Otjiwarongo early afternoon - then went to check/refresh baits.
Luck was on our side as we tracked a potentially good Tom the next evening. After much needed rest we set a fresh bait sight where we picked up fresh tracks & decided to make an afternoon/evening sit June 3rd.
This Tom read the manual on cooperation as we couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity.
Perfect shot with my 7mm Backcountry & had my leopard. #2 of big 5, #3 of dangerous 7. He tipped the scales at 164#.
Wife & I spent rest of my time in Namibia taking an Eland, Damara Dik Dik, Warthog, Baboon, Duiker & an old grumpy Giraffe before headed back to Northern Cape for other plains game. Couldn’t have asked for a better 2nd Safari from Boschnel. Already planning an Elephant hunt for 2028.
