Thanks for posting it, and thanks for making the clip a good quality clip. So many of these clips are reduced file sizes that look more like shifting sand than an actual hunting scene.
Shooting a 300 win mag cartridge in a factory weatherby accurmark medium heavy fluted barrel. Swarovski 3x12 scope. This rig is at least 10 years old and I swear it is getting heavier to carry around. The 180 grain nosler bullet didn't exit. The ph said he saw the cat bounce at a 45 degree angle. About a fify foot fall. He was worried about a broken skull but no damage. We couldn't see where he was laying on the rocks from the bottom. The dogs reached him first but they didn't bark so he was d.o.a. Thanks, Terry
Excellent shot. Eventhough he was in the open there was a lot of room for error there. Well done!

Very impressive! What a tremendous experience. Reminds me of a black bear we shot one time at a great distance standing over a cliff. It free fell over 300 feet and was still alive (barely when we reached it an hour later. It's hide and skull was undamaged as well. Great shooting there Mr. T!
I'd know that great whacking South African anywhere, even from behind (quite possibly his GOOD side!) Warrie Evans has the ugliest hat between Somerset East and Kariba but he's got a fine bunch of dogs...and it looks like he's got another satisfied customer!
Congrats all 'round!

Lorenzo I think everyone has seen this video you are talking about. Unfortunately the leopard won't be back from the taxidermist in time for the SCI show in Houston. I will have a booth with Pro Safaris. Hope to meet some of the A.R. crowd.
