Yep - the link works. Wow - what a charge. I had to watch this a couple of times to see where the leopard came from - it was that fast! | |||

Lucky that someone spined it! Big tom too - look at the head. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

WOW!! That's impressive. The leopard charge and the shooter. | |||

Man that was fast. Lesson learned, rifle shouldered, muzzle a bit low. Not about leopard, but still apropos is the saying about lion charges. Can't recall where it originated so I can't give proper attribution. "The good news is a lion takes about 4 seconds to cover 100 yards. The bad news is, they don't charge from 100 yards." | |||

Heard of that charge and the moments prior to it. Definetely a bone-chilling experience. Glad they were able to drop the Tom before anybody was injured. | |||

Most of the old timers who hunted alone i.e. no PH or other gun backing up all made the point that you need to crouch down when facing a cat charge so you are on the same level, extremely difficult to get the correct lead, i.e. muzzle depression, if standing. That leopard was virtually shot on the end of the barrel, can't afford to miss can we!! There is another very good leopard charge video around showing that if you don't crouch and hit the cat dead on it will get you, in this video the PH ends up with a busted wrist and some good tooth marks in the chest and was within a hair's breadth of being shot in the hip or leg by the tracker standing too far back while letting fly with a shot. Thankfully he got the cat and nobody else. | |||

I am guessing that was in South Africa from the accents. Does anyone know where this was and who was involved as well as what gun was used? | |||

As a PH once said " that tom gets to you it's 200 stitches a second." | |||

hunting leopard with dogs...gotta love it! | |||

Have you tried it ? | |||
|
One of Us |
Yes I have, although not with leopard. But I much prefer the traditional way of blind building & sitting to outwit the Chui. Besides, I'm a PH in Tanzania...(and it is not legal to use dogs there anyway). Its just one man's opinion. No problem at all if you love it, hate it....or somewhere in the middle. I realize long blind sitting & playing the "Chess game" isn't for everyone. As long as you enjoy the hunt! | |||

Perfect example of when charged, you shoot in very close quarters, that way you don't miss. Of course it's easier said than done " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

Looks like 1.5 seconds from the time of the first growl to the time the cats on the ground I don't think the rifle in the frames was not on the shoulder. One can see the barrel come center the cat at near the muzzle. Also there is at least two shots if not three in those two seconds. Stop action it starting at around 17 seconds most likely 18.5 to 20.5 and it looks like the cat wraps him self around the barrel as he goes down or at least tries to. Would be very exciting and lots of pucker factor for sure. | |||

and i absolutely did!. 2 chess match hunts and cold nights in a blind weren't my cup of tea. but dropping a charging leopard in midair 7-8 feet from the muzzle certainly was..... Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… | |||

Is that a lion running off at about 30 seconds? Left hand side. | |||
|
One of Us |
Correctly so - more than one shooter from different angles reducing the cat's chances of nailing anyone. A pack of dogs hounding/pinpointing it and an arsenal of guns to ensure no damage is done is really quite a sporting way to go about hunting Leopard. ![]() | |||

Hell of a video!!!! As Larry asks what is that runs off to the left? Internet connection running on australian time and cannot get a great look. Scott | |||

Looks more like a hound and probably the one we hear barking once he located and hassled the cat. | |||

Hello. Done both dogs and blind hunts. Leopard with dogs is...... just magnificent. The clients are spanish because you can clearly hear them talking in Spanish. the dogs belong to Gavin lipjies diego | |||

Having killed and been in on several big black bears with hounds at almost muzzle toughing distance. Yes going into the thick brush after something that could bite back gets the blood up for sure. Leopards with hounds wow. | |||

More guns is not necessarilty the answer. The other leopard charge video I mention in my first post had other guns shooting but nobody stopped the charge. The Leopard was wounded the night before so was a bit slower to boot and it did get hit on the way in and did a complete somersault but was not hit in the right place and got to the PH in the blink of an eye. | |||

Fujo: We seem to continue to agree. Are you still hunting? Somehow I think we might get along. | |||

Note his left thumb on top of the barrel, blocking the rear sight. No sighting, just point and shoot. | |||

Reminds me of the fellow who hunted many jaguar with a spear ! | |||
|
One of Us |
The gent who killed jaguars with a spear was Alexander,"Sasha", Siemel. I met his wife at their home near Valley Forge PA. about 17 years ago. His spears were about 7' in length, with a tulip shaped blade about a foot long. His method was to course the jaguar with dogs until it charged, then, while bracing the butt of the spear shaft against his foot, impale the cat on the blade. That way, he could hold the cat away from him until it expired. Considering the fact that a big tom jaguar can easily weigh twice as much as a leopard, it sounds a bit unbelievable, but he had the film and photos to prove it. The only caveat was, "Don't miss!" | |||

Great. Thanks for sharing that. Even if is the last thing I ever see, a charging cat is something I want to experience. | |||
|
One of Us |
Tim, I met and shook hands with Sasha Siemel in Birmingahm Al when I was about ten years old in 1961 at Birmingham-Southern College. He talked and showed his home movies of hunting the Jaguar with a spear. Still impressed at 64 years of age..... Birmingham, Al | |||

Andrew We recreational hunters are a different breed! Most of the hunting we do is in our dreams. We read books and AR hunting reports etc. Then we read something like your post about shooting a man eating lion with a double rifle. Can you blame us for wanting that experience? ![]() Or take that leopard charge video of Martin Pieters a few years ago - we keep running that in our minds and become the experts on how we would have done it. We never get clawed or chewed. It always happens to the other guys! I have just started reading a biography on Jim Corbet. So now I am off to my dream of hunting man eating tigers with a kerosene lantern! "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

Mark Sullivan says its hunting at 10 feet or under , and just plain shooting at anything beyond that. | |||

A mock charge is exciting BUT a real cat charge,,, Farck that! | |||

Some years ago I posted here on AR about an experience as a kid of a leopard caught in a cage trap in South India. My stomach still churns at the memory of the animal - the snarling, spitting, the sheer aggression & desire to attack in its eyes. The cuts and blood on its head from banging against the cage. There was no give in that cat - I suspect is must have been a small one though for a kid of less than 10 it seemed huge at that time. The sphincter muscles were full on then and the memory still has them going..! "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||
