I leave for Zambia this coming Friday!! It feels like Christmas eve when I was 10 years old. This is going to be a challenging animal to take with my bow but I have full confidence in the outfitter and my PH.

Good for you.
Remember where the heart is on those cats.

The best of luck.
 
What an adventure! ASMS!!!! I could hardly contain myself with a rifle for Mr Spots. Hard to imagine the adrenaline at bow distance!!!! Safe travels and great hunting!!!
 
Good luck!

PH Craig Middleton and his US hunter were successful in Tanz last week with a bow.

They got it all on video and it’s on instagram if you want to get real excited!

Stay safe and stay sharp! Glad you are chasing your dreams
 
watched that video!!!! wow!!!!
 
Killing a Turkey with a bow was a tough one for me. A turkeys vision is amazing and kill zone tiny. It’s hard enough shooting leopard with a rifle but I can kind of relate. Good luck and we will be anxiously awaiting you report. Hutch
 
Good luck! Dzombo is great!
 
Japsie puts a lot of time into his leopard hunts and will set you up for success.

Good Luck!
 
Good luck
 
Good luck to you brother and I sincerely mean that. I just came back off a 14 day leopard hunt in Zambia. Not a single cat showed up to a bait until the very last morning that I was leaving to fly back home. I shot a bunch of animals on my list but we only sat 1 night for a cat the entire time & it was a female. Zambia is going through it's worst drought in 60 years. I hope your PH will be baiting near standing water. Where I hunted all the river beds were completely dry.

Hope it happens for you!!!!!!

I saw a video of a Leopard hunt in Tanzania where the PH buried a five gallon bucket filled with water into the ground fairly close to the bait site. It worked like a charm.
Leopard ate and wandered over and drank its fill. Not so good for the Leopard , but the hunter was happy.
 
Best of luck to you. Leopard with a bow is a serious accomplishment. As stated, Zambia is in severe drought and in some places the crop failure is 100%. Tough times.
 
Good luck!

Can you share a link to the video?

Japsie will be my guide and we’ve been texting on instagram. He has been very helpful with all my questions.
 
Very impressive. It’s tough to get one within 60 yards. let alone 20
 
May your arrow fly true!! Can’t wait for the story once back. Safe travels!
 
Awesome video. Adding that to my bucket list!
 
I was on that hunt where my buddy shot that cat with Craig. I got blanked…no shot with a bow but ended up taking 9 animals on this Tanzania trip. Africa finally got its hooks in me last month LOL. Looking to book more adventures. Good luck on your hunt!

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well
