View attachment 606404View attachment 606405View attachment 606406The new Kansas City airport is so much nicer than the old three terminal setup with limited services.Now there are several restaurants and the brand new Delta Club. So after check in I hung out there until time to board for Atlanta. @PHOENIX PHIL if you get stuck in this one you will have a better time for sure.

I knew the old one but have not visited the new one. They needed a new airport

Good looking leopard, the pale yellow coloration in that area is really awesome.

When he got his bath it brightened up.,

So on the way with the truck from the lodge Pieter’s son, Donie, spies another target animal about a mile from where I shot the leopard. Donie says he had seen a caracal and we could stop on the way back to the lodge. After pictures we loaded up all the gear and the cat of course. I sat in the front seat of the truck Pieter drove and Donie was in the back, we passed through one corral and then just after the second one Donie tapped the roof of the truck. I got Out of the truck and could already see the cat from the side glare of the truck lights about twenty yards away under one of those black thorn bushes. My Ruger spoke again and I had my second cat.

Well done Charlie.....

Sir as you know it is all about the outfitter. As the client I depend upon the PH/Outfitter to make all necessary arrangements and set me up for success. In this regard I can not praise Pieter Delport enough. Two leopard hunts and two leopards I think tells the story. From knowing where to set up baits, when to refresh, what to bait with and tracking skills the man is simply in his element. He grew up on this family ranch and knows it like the back of his hand. He also knows the other ranches in the area and people depend upon him to help with many leopards. I would go so far as to say he must think like a leopard.
I know many people go on several leopard hunts before even getting one…..so I am twice blessed to have been introduced to Mr Delport and to have hunted with him.

Seven days into a fourteen day hunt and I had two target animals. Now what!? Well skinning the two cats was up next! Kitit in top photo skinned this leopard and had done a lot of the work on my first leopard. He also grew up on Farm Eintracht and is an excellent tracker.

Hans also a long time tracker there skinned the caracal. Both did an excellent job! You can see where the 300 WinMag nearly cut the caracal in half.
