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.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

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?
