These are all variables that are subject to change seasonally and by specific destinations within the country itself..

I would recommend reaching out to some of the fine AH.com sponsors here who offer archery buff/leopard hunts in Zim and get their direct up to date input... Best of luck if you do it.. A leopard with a bow is arguably the hardest goal to achieve in pursuing any of the Big 5..!

What I know so far is this.

1st you need a TRS2 form with your hunt details. For example, dates, outfitter, guide and area.

A special archery license.

I understand you need a special lic for Leopard and Buffalo when hunting with a bow. I get a little fuzzy at this point.

Is it a separate permit? Or is the animal just listed on the archery lic? Is there additional lic cost for just that additional animals?

IIRC $1500 license for DG is the only thing extra I believe for a bow. Everything else was SOP as with rifles, but I've slept and drank since then.

I am sure if it is legal where you are going your PH will sort it all out for you. Please be aware of how truly dangerous, dangerous game hunting really is.

I have answered most of these questions in the past. Many things change on a day to day basis. If someone will put together a proper list of questions. I will contact the man that actually approves, issues and signs. The permit or special permit.

The answers I receive will give a strong indication for the 2023 season only. Contact your prefers Safari co. before booking a hunt. “Things change”.
