That looks like a true 180lb cat and his markings are striking.
I noticed that the Ethiopian cat's markings have alot of contrast. What a beautiful cat.

Excellent Leopard.

For those who do not know Archie (I do not know him either) but ..

I would venture a guess that he has more worldwide bowhunting experience than any man alive or dead.

With such an obviousley big leopard it's a shame he felt the need to sit so far behind it.

The photographer must be from Kodiak Island.

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.
