    Trusting A Wild Animal - And Nearly Killed By Him

    I remember reading somewhere that the only reason a house cat doesn't kill it's owner is because it isn't big enough

    I think that the OBL poster is a nice touch I wouldn't do the Obama display, but I don't understand your outrage either....it's a joke I don't want to look at Obama any more than I have to

    lol thanks for that my friend!! A lot of what we are saying is misinterpreted because of the written word....if we were all face to face I bet that we would all get along. I never take myself too seriously, so I love your response! Take Care!

    Melanie Passes away at 76

    2 years ago while sitting in my Leopard blind in Zambia, I had, "Brand new key" going through my mind, so everytime I hear that song it reminds me of that special day

    Leopards are not like mountain lions, they are very aggressive

    I agree, and I will add that Boddington himself should have known better as well I bet that the PH was anxious to get a good video circulated AND the endorsement of the good colonel...or whatever he is now

    Ralph, I would expect a Marine to defend another Marine to the death. I said a lot about him here, and I did call a few of his actions and bankruptcy "shady" That said, I said all that I have to say so I won't comment any further And as I said before, just giving you all my 2 Cents

    Leopard Hunting Accident Involving Craig Boddington's Daughter

    And that is exactly my point...how does he pay for all of those hunts on a writers salary...especially with a limited consumer base as African hunters? He stated one time that he has been to Africa alone more than 120 times and these aren't South African cull hunts, they are big dollar big five...

    Leopard Hunting Accident Involving Craig Boddington's Daughter

    I believe in everything you just said. I don't blame the daughter for trying to do the right thing, and YES I agree as well that an employee of the PH or outfitter is THEIR RESPONSIBILITY . That said I do believe that morally, Boddington (or anyone) needs to do something to make it right...

    Leopard Hunting Accident Involving Craig Boddington's Daughter

    Fellas, hey, no use going back and forth on this. I don't dislike Boddington at all. I have been reading his articals since he began writing and I have a few of his books as well. I DID learn a lot from him, as well as reading about hunts that I will never do. THAT SAID, I think that what...

    I remember him writing a while back where he stated that he has never taken a free hunt and that he paid for all of his hunts himself

    Seriously now, you are a hunter yet you wouldn't recognise him...come on now. Aaron, after reading your reply I am wondering why you wasted your time in responding

    Leopard Hunting Accident Involving Craig Boddington's Daughter

    You don't think that it sounds shady to shoot someone on a hunt, ask for donations from strangers for his care...all while continuing on your multiple high-dollar hunts, AND then claim bankruptcy? Forget the fact that he is a celebrity who you obviously like...would you still support the person...

    You are giving him the benefit of the doubt...did he smile at you while he signed a book that you bought from him?;) That's exactly what I am talking about my friend.

    Leopard Hunting Accident Involving Craig Boddington's Daughter

    Kevin, I don't hate him at all...why would you think that? It just seems as though he asked for and received donations from other well-meaning people and at the same time, continued on hunting without a break in his stride. He even claimed bankruptcy back then....how many of his creditors lost...

    Leopard Hunting Accident Involving Craig Boddington's Daughter

    I wonder about that fellas... If he was (supposedly) "Impoverished" by the 2009-2009 meltdown, why didn't he stop going on numerous very expensive hunts yearly before and after the accident...now in the last few years his wife, daughter, and new son-in-law accompanies him on his hunts....nice...

    Leopard Hunting Accident Involving Craig Boddington's Daughter

    What did Boddington do personally to help Punki? I'm talking about his own money I do remember his fundraisers and requests for donations, but I don't remember hearing about him helping Punki personally PS: if I were in his shoes I wouldn't ask anyone for a dime because what happened would be...

    Most impressive trackers?

    I have only been to Africa 8 times so I am far from being an expert, but I would THINK that it would be hard to say who the best trackers are because each tracker is accustomed to tracking in his own environment. For example, I bet that the pygmies of the jungle regions couldn't out-track a...

    HUNTING Leopard

    Amazing! I can't get enough of seeing those gigantic cats. Can you imagine surviving long enough to grow to be that size? Ducking poachers, hunters, other leopards and becoming injured from prey?

    Yes,and a PH' know even takes pics of the leopards on the scale showing the weight and the cat so that nobody is exaggerating weight

    HUNTING Leopard

    Incredible!! Thank you so much for sharing that PS I wonder if the 220lb cat you mentioned was actually weighed, or was that an estimate? Wayne grant also stated that most people's guesses are usually 40-50% off/overestimated Your dad's leopard with 30lbs of meat in his stomach is 200lbs

    HUNTING Leopard

    PS and THANK YOU for posting a picture of a Leopard weighing over 200lbs. I'm sure that they do exist, but yours is the first one I've seen. PS: Famed Zimbabwean Leopard hunter, PH Wayne Grant, wrote a book on Leopard hunting, titled, "Into the Thorns." In it he stated that during 40+ years as...

    What kind of cat is this and how do I rejuvenate the hide?

    There are several off-the-wall guesses here. It is either a small or juvenile Leopard from either Africa (most likely) or India. Very ordinary rosettes/pattern as well
