NAMIBIA: Mr. Spots In Namibia

Some of you may remember from an earlier hunting report in June 2021 that I traveled to Namibia for a four day adventure to attempt a hunt on Mr. Spots. Due to time constraints we left Namibia after seeing no leopards although several were on bait before and after we hunted. I did, however...

Aged at 6.5-7 years, so you're spot on! Very happy with my first leopard.

Permit timeline info below... Hopefully yours makes it through the bureaucracy soon too!

1. Zimbabwe
2. Initially pre-hunt, but then circumstances changed and submitted update post hunt. So original submission May 2021, changes submitted Sept 2021. Permit approved April 2022
3. My permit application was filed electronically
4. Yes. Conservation Force handled my permit initially. Later, I enlisted the services of SSI, who took over managing the permit, as well as the rest of my importation needs


Initially April, but then amended the application in September.

No. We didn't weigh him- or if we did, I wasn't paying attention and don't remember the weight. He was actually starting to show degradation in body weight/size. We had a much bigger/fitter but also younger Tom on another bait, but went with this fine old gentleman. Glad we did.

Absolutely the right choice! We should only be killing past their prime males like yours

late Monday update--I received confirmation that my amendment (I put the shipping company Yellowshark as the consignor instead of the outfitter) to my permit which was issued two weeks ago was now pending. I should receive it within a week. So three weeks from amendment letter mailed to new permit so that I can proceed with import. It was a simple mistake and a simple fix (that cost $50 and three weeks). So hopefully we can begin shipping in the next 2 weeks!!!!

I just received my notification about 2 minutes ago that my Leopard import permit has been issued!!!!!!!

A friend of mine applied electronically with a robust application and A+ supporting evidence in mid-December. It was a Zim cat. He stated he got an automated email yesterday with status change to pending, whatever that may indicate.
