A shepherd (59) survived an attack by no one but two leopards in the Karibib area on Monday.

According to the Erongo Region's Coordinator of Crime Investigation, Adj.komm. Erastus Iikuyu, fought the man for his life to turn off one of the predators.

"Shepherd, Mr. David Dantatzao was almost killed by the two leopards at the farm Domeb in the Karibib district at about 10:00 when he fed sheep, "said Iikuyu.

"Dantatzao managed to kill a young leopard female with a knife and a spear."

Iikuyu said the shepherd had serious injuries and was taken to the Usako state hospital for treatment. His condition is described as stable.

The original version in Afrikaans below:

Man oorleef luiperdaanval

'n Skaapwagter (59) het Maandag 'n aanval deur nie een nie, maar twee luiperds, in die Karibib-omgewing oorleef.

Volgens die Erongostreek se koördineerder van misdaadondersoeke, adj.komm. Erastus Iikuyu, het die man om sy lewe geveg om een van die roofdiere af te weer.

“'n Skaapwagter, mnr. David Dantatzao, is na bewering omstreeks 10:00 byna deur twee luiperds op die plaas Domeb in die Karibib-distrik bokveld toe gestuur toe hy skape laat wei het,” het Iikuyu gesê.

“Dantatzao kon daarin slaag om een jong luiperdwyfie met 'n sakmes en 'n spies dood te steek.”

Iikuyu het gesê die skaapwagter het ernstige beserings opgedoen en is vir behandeling na die Usako-staatshospitaal geneem. Sy toestand word as stabiel beskryf.

Wow!!! He took one out with a knife and a spear! Hope he comes through ok
 
Lots of this going on in Namibia. Now that you can’t hunt with hounds the leopard population is booming. My friends in the southern part of Namibia, where there are not normally leopards and it’s sheep country, have had many problem leopards including one attack on a farmer. This will lead to large scale poisoning! Regardless of the excuses all methods should be made legal for sport hunting. You reap what you sow.

One lucky man! I would hasten to add that when fighting for your life you can do amazing things.

That poor guy will need a lot of stitches!

Too bad Peter Capstick isn't still here writing. That man deserves a spot in one of his Leopard chapters for sure.

It would no doubt be a heck of a write up!

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
