I just got mine today. I happened to open it to page 126. There is a gentleman there with a truly massive leopard. His name is Angus Murray. Isn't this the same guy that bought the 50+ inch buffalo from Arnold Payne last year? Seems this guy is really lucky! | ||

It is and apparhently he's quite the hunter. Seems as if he's been everywhere. Good for him. Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

http://www.stonehuntingsafaris.com/SCI.html At this year's SCI Convention, Mr. Murray's Tanzania lion (27 3/16) took the 3rd place award for Africa. Our own Marc Watts took first place for his Mountain Nyala!!! Stone Hunting Safaris website lists quite a number of outstanding trophies taken by Mr. Murray,including numerous big Tanzania leopards.

A busy day reduced me to just looking at the pictures, but there were some really fine leopards in there. Will J. Parks, III | |||

Where was this "monster" taken in Tanzania? I would really like to know as it sounds incredulous  "...Them, they were Giants!" J.A. Hunter describing the early explorers and settlers of East Africa hunting is not about the killing but about the chase of the hunt.... Ortega Y Gasset | |||

Thx Kathy! I still find it hard to believe! Mark Young, what's the largest and average skull size you get in your Lokisale/Lobo areas? The highest score to come out of Maswa (SGTI ecosystem) from TGT was 27in back in '94. since then it's been hovering around 24in. The highest score from Rungwa ecosystem was still under 25 in. Same with Moyowosi and Ugalla ecosystem. I see a few Tz lion entries in the SCI book over 26 and only 1 came from Maasailand! Seems that the largest ones come form further south (Kilombero and Selous ecosystems). Makes me wonder........ "...Them, they were Giants!" J.A.

It is a lovely lion. for arguments sake, it does not particularly look like a brut and the sand and grass on the fence are not typical of maasailand! but I would expect a maasiland lion to be generally bigger (Body) than those of Maswa, and western TZ areas. | |||
