BOTSWANA: Leopard Hunt Report

Great Story. I am just wondering what would have happened if you missed????? well, maybe we wouldn't be reading this right now?!
 
I’m sure the three of us would have been in the hospital getting hundreds of stiches.
 
Congratz on a nice cat. I imagine that the adrenaline dump is wearing off in the last two or three days.
I don’t get adrenaline, although once the cat was dead on the ground I did feel a tinge.
 
Congrats on the leopard and a great story to boot.
 
From my PH….

“The scull measured 16 which is 2 inches above SCI min of 14 and makes Rowland Ward with ¾ inch.. thats huge. RW min is 15¼”.
 
Congratulations on your leopard. You went with a good outfitter and team.

I also leopard hunted successfully with them in 2023 in Botswana. I want to return.

Happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

@Sourdough,

great shooting and VERY well done are appropriate but seem ....not consequential enough words to describe what i am actually thinking about the hunt and the job you did under pressure, but, well done anyway!!!

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

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!
