Frostie, I would highly recommend Wayne Grant's Into The Thorns. The definitive big cat book. If I recall, Wayne recommends the winter months April, May, June. Something about baits lasting longer. But I suppose it varies from area to area. Check with your prospective PH. Have a good hunt, "You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world" - J Joplin | |||

Is that period good for Buffalo & plains game as well? "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

Again perhaps specify where. Kafue, North Luangwa, South Luangwa? 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 | |||

It mostly depends on whether you'd rather sweat while you build the blind or shiver while you sit in it. The Leopards don't care all that much. When you get bored with life, start hunting dangerous game with a handgun. | |||

Where is Fairgame. I would wait for his opinion here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender. I wish everyone the world over had the dominating spirit that motivates Texans.– Billy Clayton, Speaker of the Texas House No state commands such fierce pride and loyalty.

At least for the Kafue, I'm told that earlier is better, and anything after August is difficult, due to the increased number of baby animals on the ground and the rise in temperature. I took a very nice cat in the Lunga Luswishi on July 28 this year. | |||

North Luangwa or Kafue ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

Good advice. Luangwa anytime for a good leopard but Kafue for something extraordinary. Kafue would be double the price. ROYAL KAFUE LTD Email - kafueroyal@gmail.com Tel/Whatsapp (00260) 975315144 Instagram - kafueroyal | |||
