Glad you got to go again. What rifle? Did you take your Sabatti? Congrats on a nice Tom.

Well done!

Yep - that's a Mike Tyson leopard (no neck) for sure! Well done on the trophy of a lifetime!

More like a rugby front rower! Much tougher than Tyson - particularly an All Black

I grew up from my earliest memory with my dad's Indian leopard on the wall - 7 ft 6 inches long. A big leopard never ceases to get my heart racing!

It must have grown up on steroids - I never realized the Indian Leopard attained such a size.
