The way I heard it was that they weren't hunting leopard at the time. They happened to drive under a tree and a leopard dropped down on him while he was sitting on the high seat. I heard the story over 20 years ago, and my memory isn't all that great, so your probably correct on the incident. DRSS Searcy 470 NE | |||

I was in camp with Ronnie, Alister, Terry and Mark Tout. He beat the leopard from Terry as it had come up over the bonnet. Mark also had to help the shit out of clients pants.Mark hunted on crutches as he had leg blew by land mine. Mark was my hunter and I had my lechwe as # 2 for quite a spell and even have picture in record book. That was first of 11 trips for me (1985). Alister and his lovely wife Pauline spent one night with me in Missouri. He damn certainly deserves his reputation, he worked hard for it. | |||

Thanks for clarifying Terry and the leopard event! Those guys were definitely in the "good old days". WOW! Congratulations on your lechwe! He must have been a monster! I don't suppose you have pictures you could post. Best regards, D. Nelson | |||

Mike, My wife and I stayed a few nights in Vaughan's camp on the way to Vic Falls on our 2009 driving tour shortly after your hunt and he mentioned he had one on quota. An outfitter friend in Windhoek had mentioned to me earlier in the week that he had a client coming who needed a Red Lechwe for some special recognition and a game ranch one would not due. I got on the sat phone with him and he and his client drove up to hunt that lechwe a short time later and got one. Vaughan never charged us for staying in camp. What's the commission on a $4,000 lechwe? ![]() George "...Africa. I love it, and there is no reason for me to explore why.

George, I never knew that Vaughan filled that quota. Kinda makes me feel like even more of a cheapskate for complaining about the price! ![]() Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Darin, I had the pleasure of hunting with Ronnie in 2008. It was truly a pleasure to spend 10 days with Ronnie in the bush. He told me at that time this would be his last hunt. We hunted hard and were rewarded with this 49" old brute....and a Kudu! See you soon. Steve [IMG:top] ![]() [IMG:top] ![]() [IMG:top] ![]() [IMG:top] ![]() | |||
