Anyone have an opinion on Chewore North for leopard in early August? Would chances be much worse than say May / early June?? Brett | ||

Hi Brett I reckon you should get hold of Andy Hunter, Ian Gibson or Peter Barnard regarding Chewore North. I don't have any of their email addresses in hand, but could get them for you. I see Andy Hunter's address was posted on the thread about him being mauled, but he may not be the best guy to talk to right now! I shall get Peter Barnard's contact details tomorrow and PM them to you. Speaking from a Chewore South perspective, I would say there is very little difference between May/June and August. I don't think your chances would be less. However, I do advise you to get a second opinion. I'll get back to you Dave | |||

Leopards gotta eat. Probaly no difference. Most sand rivers will be green, May or August. When they open the season on wild dogs, let me know. ------------------------------- Will / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

I would second the vote for Pete Barnard but I believe he is hunting in Tanzania with Jack Brittingham's outfit from July 1st through October... you could check with him anyway, you never know if he has a break or cancellation. On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Mid August, 2005, Chewore North a few steps from the banks of the Zambezi the day the guys built the blind: Yep, it's a good place to go. The river is right behind me, there was a slight concern that hungry crocs might want a piece so we hurried with the photos. This leopard is featured in Buzz Charlton's elephant video if you care to see how the hunt went. ~Ann | |||

Generally speaking early is usually better for leopard. | |||

Bill won't think I am so cute after seeing this photo. I could not hold this cat up and stand still. Yeah, that is leopard blood all over me and blue nail polish on my toes.... What would Paris do? ~Ann | |||
