Hi Guys, I did a report in July on my leopard safari at Chifuti Safaris Nuanetsi Conservancy.
This week the final episode airs with the exciting conclusion to the hunt. Sometimes it all goes PERFECT, and this was one of those times. D&D is on Outdoor Channel Sun 5:30 EST. Hope you catch it!
Cheers
Dave

have been following it Dave and look forward to the conclusion...

Dave -
I have enjoyed the portions of the hunt shown thus far. Heather is doing a super job on her first safari. Of course she has a good coach ... in Mark! Cheers

I won't be here but the DVR is set!

Thanks guys. I was really proud of her on that trip, and she really fell into the flow of safari. Not all girls do. But she added so much fun to it for me. I think you will really like the leopard conclusion next week!

Looking forward to it Dave...Thanks

Same as Tim.

Great show and looking forward to your leopard segment as well.

Hey Dave,
Would love to watch it, but we don't get it on Wild TV

Dave, tell the TV. Network to start numbering the episodes or give us an idea what's in every episode
It's really inexcusable how they run it if you ask me

We provide ( I write them myself) detailed show descriptions for each episode, as to who, what, and where. The turnover in personnel at Outdoor Channel is problematic as one guy uses it, the next guy does not. Frustrating for you, and for us! Thanks for watching in any case.

Dave,

I have your leopard hunt on the DVR, and plan to watch it tonight.
I have really liked the recent episodes. Splitting the show between 3 countries has been entertaining for me. I have especially enjoyed the dangerous game hunts in Namibia. Most hunting shows in Namibia are based on plains game hunts.

Again great job on Dark and Dangerous.

Thanks!!!

Thanks man!

I watched the first part but haven't caught the second yet. Great show, i too am not getting any descriptions or #'s on the DVR, makes it hard to keep things sorted out.

thanks for the great show

+1. I rarely have an episode actually record on my DVR because they all show up as re-runs and I don't want to record them all then spend the time to cull through them.

rich and famous, yadda yadda exciting leopard, blah blah blah

I did not watch the first two and I did not watch the last one.

I recorded them all so I can watch 1 thru 3 without any commercial interruptions tonight!

Finally got it recorded and am watching it right now, Vallaro is a super stud, maybe someday I will be able to go with Chifuti!

Great hunt Dave. I know how hard it is to get that kind of footage in daylight, especially a 2nd chance! Cheers and good work!

Great footage, and nice shot too! I know your agony as you watched that big tom walk away from the bait and back into the brush. Time seems to stand still between then and when the cat returns to the bait. I am glad it worked out so well for you. BZ!

Dave, I am just 17 days away from departing for Zim and my first leopard hunt. Watching the conclusion of your leopard hunt just about killed me.

We must have been daft, as my first view of the cats head screamed BIG MALE. Mark knew it too, but mistakes are very expensive and hard to live with. We had cut a branch that was not in play from the first blind , but blocked the shot from thr tree set up. He had laid under the branch twice, as we saw from spoor, and he damn sure noticed"something' had changed and reacted to it. We both felt he was not too spooked, but those minutes before he returned were very uneasy for us. But all is well and he will be at The Wildlife Gallery within 48 hours! Thanks for watching guys.

Dave,

My wife and I watched the episode last night. Congrats on a great cat!

Oh well thanks a lot y'all. Now I know how the story turns out!

In Birmingham on Sunday we got the episode where Heather shot a giraffe and another guy shot an elephant in Botswana. We just got a teaser for Dave's leopard.

What, did you think I missed?! You know the ending already, thats why you booked the same hunt!!!

Good show!

Yes Sensei, I model my life after your teachings.

Just watched it on the DVR. Nice Cat! Congrats.

Saw the episode finally. Nice shootin' Tex!

I enjoyed the show too. That leopard was a toad.

Son!!!

Loved the show and the D&D format. What a great Mr. Spots buddy. We are looking forward to making him look alive again! And not like some of those "spoof" photos you and Danklif sent me... LOL

I like the show as well. I completely agree with the comments about numbering the episodes. Every single episode has the exact same description on our local cable network.

Good show Dave. Watched both last night.

I watched it last night and really enjoyed it. Gorgeous cat and an excellent shot!

Thanks so much guys. A really special hunt for both Heather and I. God knows I love hunting leopard, with both rifle and video, but this might be my last one with a rifle. Hard to improve on either the trophy or memory. If he's my last, I can say it with a honest smile.

Hello Dave, Really enjoyed the episodes and what a fine leopard. What caliber and bullet did you use? I have booked a leopard hunt in Nuanetsi for May 2015 and have been having a blast trying to decide which rifle and bullet combination I want to take. I have just about decided on the .340 Weatherby and 200 grain Nosler Accubond running 3200 FPS for the leopard. This load is as accurate as this perticular rifle gets at 1.25" 3 shot groups at 100 meters. I will be stepping up to a 250 grain Barnes TSX for the Eland and Giraffe. What do you think about my load selection for the leopard?

John, please leave a big leopard for me, okay?

Paul, I was told by Mark Vallaro there are 2 twin brother leopard in the 200 pound class slinking around Nuanetsi waiting for 2015 to pop around the corner. Their names are John and Paul. John is coming home with me.

John you must be getting close now; please don't forget to leave a good cat for me. I think I have 87 days to departure.

Best of luck and safe travels.
