Zim and Tanzania, .338 210 Nosler and .404 with 400 gr. probably a woodleigh some 15 and 20 years ago...I'm not a cat hunter, much prefer elephants and Buffalo..Don't like blinds and any hunting that requires me to sit still for long periods of time, I get bored easily sitting....but I will do it if I have too.....I can sit and scope out an area for long periods of time as that keeps me busy doing something..Blinds are cold or hot never inbetween, they are bug ridden with Tetsis or Mopanis, or Lord knows what..East Texas deer stands are hot an humid at 4:00 AM, been down to shorts only in them, not for this kid!!!

hunterjim,

Where did you hunt in Zim?

1. Zim, Matetsi (purely incidental to elephant hunt)
2. No, but I saw 11 lions... that's right ELEVEN... on one bait, and all at the same time, and if anyone says lions can't climb well, they should've been there!
3. .416 Heavy Express Short Action Mag on Ruger MKII 77 short action
4. Hornady SP, 400 grains (old style) at 2300fps
5. Leupold 1x4 with post reticle

We didn't hunt leopard very seriously but one was on license... We put out three baits and lions got two of them, third untouched...

I'll do it seriously in Tanzania in 2006, I hope!

Zimbabwe, I had a bait hanging in half the trees in the OMAY.
Never had a male in a tree, did have a female in the tree.
Chapuis 9,3x74R double rifle.
285 gr Hawk with the .035jkt in the right bbl, and a 286 Woodleigh soft in the left.
Swarovski 1.5-6x42 with the illuminated circle dot reticle.

IMHO, I think I had the best rifle, ammo and scope choice for leopard on the Planet.

450 no.2,
I am surprised that you didn't get a Leopard in the Omay, thats almost a cinch or at least it was a few years ago and Paul Zorn tells me it still is...Must have been some bad luck, but thats hunting.

1. Tanzania--Selous
2. Leopard taken at 70 yards 2 min before shooting close. Aprox 150 lbs
3. .375 H & H
4. Swift A-Frame, Instant Kill
5. 1.5-5 X Leupold scope

Prefer next Leopard, if any, to be stalked or the use of dogs, instead of the bling routine.

I have tried to hunt leoprad on at least 11 safaris - Zimbabwe and Tanzania.

Managed to bag two, so my success rate is not very good.

One was shot with a 270 Ackley, with Barnes X 130 grain bullets. He was dead before he hit the ground.

One was shot with a Lazzeroni 7.21 Firehawk, and 160 grian Swift A-Frame bullets. Again, he stone dead as soon as he hit the ground.

Scopes were Leupold 2.5-8x and Leupold 4.5-14X.

Hey Saeed,
