Excellent cats, it looks like a few of them came from Nuanetsi.

Several are from our Chewore North area, the rest from Nuenetsi. The valley cats have been really good this year, both body and skull.Proud of our PH team, and honored to have such fine client hunters.Mark V. is sitting on , what he says, is a true monster cat today. I'll keep you updated!

Dave, what do these cats weigh?? It's incredible that you have so many huge dominant males within your hunting area!

Weight is maybe not the 'best' yardstick as a hungry tom on a 4 day feed can pick up some pounds. But.. we have killed several Super Cat's, what we call a 160 + at Nuanetsi. Cats tend to be a bit smaller in the valley, but we have killed 16+ inch skulls there. I killed a 160 lb cat at Nuenetsi, that had a smaller skull than a valley cat I killed a few years back that I believe was also in that weight range. But we keep our harvest numbers in line with what our areas can sustain.

Brings back great memories. It's good to see Rex in one shot. Chifuti comes through in a difficult year.

Lots of spots gentlemen. Well done.


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.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

I reckon that photo of the Leopard and hunter on the rock in mid stream is the best leopard photo I've ever seen.
