Great story! You had me captivated, reminiscing on my own leopard hunt this year. Congrats on a great old cat!
 
Perfect
 
Only 2 days to get a chui? Unbelievable! And one fine old boy as well. Excellent tale of a grand hunt. Seeing his teeth (they look like mine!) you did him a service!
Thanks for the report!
 
Leopard hunting is something very special. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
 
Thanks a lot for sharing this and a well deserved Waidmannsheil @JOHunts ! Your writing was truly captivating and I would love to hear more about the rest of the hunt.
 
Excellent report thanks for sharing. I’m reading “The Horn” for the umpteenth time right now. [emoji106]
 
Beautiful cat and a wonderful story. I always enjoy reading reports of Ernest’s hunts.
Keep dreaming, Africa will call you back.

What a perfect old cat. Need to have him done with a mouth open pose. Those incisors will be a conversation for every guest. Thanks particularly for a great story well told!

Gunsmoke had not cleared?!? ;) Ruark could embrace a bit of literary license as well.

Congrats again.
 
I love to see hunters killing old mature cats like the one you killed

I’m waiting on the aging committee to age mine from Zambia

My PH is thinking 6.5-7yo

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
