Thanks for sharing! I have seen captured Leopard in traps and when handled and released they are not to be messed with. Leopard will also break through chain link fencing like it's nothing even in confined spaces.

Here is the title of this liveleak.com video: Trapped Wild Saudi Leopard Pounces on and Kills Nature Reserve Employee.
 
Had the guy never seen a Leopard before in his life?
Idiocy.
That should be a training video for ever Nature conservation department.

As the title says he may not have had an opportunity to learn.

Causes me a moments pause.

Good find.
 
the video reinforces my fear and respect for these animals!

I will say this.

When I saw the leopard in Zim at less than 10 feet from my open truck window I knew that he was close enough to get to me without even taking a step. But after watching that video I have a different perspective of that experience.

When you get that close, it certainly makes you think twice!

Leopard make me uneasy ahead of any other animal out there.
 
Completely agree.....
 
WOW! That is a fast and dangerous cat! Hunting with hounds might not be such a goo idea.

If you are not an extraordinary shot I agree.

From what I see you basically need to hit a grapefruit at 30 plus miles an hour when you first see the grapefruit at about 10 yards. Oh yeah, and you need to be able to do that every single time, and after walking a long distance.

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

If you ever decide to sell this rifle, I will buy it with the dies, bullet, brass, the works. Dan
