I'm a big fan of bowhunting, but I could never imagine doing the hunt you're describing.
It took me four safaris for my leopard, the average is two, but it takes luck and skill. My odds would have been much lower if I was in an area that prohibited hunting at night. Did we shoot at night? No, but we were in the blind overnight waiting for dawn so we didn't get busted.
The temperatures some of those night sits were 50F or lower. The rifle was strung up flawlessly so it was pointed directly where the leopard ought to be at the bait. All this care done to be absolutely silent and in a blind where you could be motionless at the time of the shot.
The idea of sitting for 30-60 days of hunting, up through the night, all that hardship, and finally you get busted standing to draw the bow sounds absolutely awful.
The good news is your hunts will be cheap because you're unlikely to pay the trophy fee, if the family comes along to hunt plains game you'll subsidize your baits.
