Gun Control - A theory espoused by some monumentally stupid people; who claim to believe, against all logic and common sense, that a violent predator who ignores the laws prohibiting them from robbing, raping, kidnapping, torturing and killing their fellow human beings will obey a law telling them that they cannot own a gun.

He looks leucistic.

Rare, beautiful, unique!

Via Wiki: Leucism /ˈljuːsɪzəm/[1] is a condition characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin.

After a few years of participation on forums, I have learned that:

One can cure:

Lack of knowledge – by instruction. Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it.


One cannot cure:

Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!


My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt!

I looked in the SCI record book and didn't see a listing for "Copper Leopard". It will probably be in the next edition. Wink If I hurry I could have the new worlds record.

Elgin Gates big leopard(taken in Chad) that scored 19" was said to be a pale buff by Jack O'Connor in one of his writings. Some of the jaguars taken in Arizona way back were also said to be pale buff. I believe it's an adaptaion for desert habitat. Did this cat come from the S.A. part of the Kalihari(sp)?
