Met a person here in Florida told me her husband shot a record book cat in Kenya 72 or 74 not sure on date. Could someone look up in SCI records for a nine foot cat and those dates

L. David KeithMike, the first Leopard from Kenya in SCI edition 11 was taken in 1969, #8 by Hector Cuellar hunting with John Russell. I didn't find a date of '72 or '74 of the many I glanced over. A name and exact date would be helpful. If you can get that, I'll check the books again.
Cheers,
David

Exactly - no way you can a leopard get that big. A lioness or a tigress would be big at that size. lots of old tricks like measuring around the curves, using 11 inch tapes and stretching the skin......One of the legendary Great White Hunters even saw a case of a cleverly patched pelt.

billrquimbyAs Mark said, SCI's leopard and lion records are determined by skull size, not total length of the cat.

fairgameHave a look in Mellon's book Afican Hunter and I seem to remember a monster cat was taken in the Aberdares, however it would not be 9 foot.
