I received an email today from my PH Hannes Els of Limcroma Safaris. In it was a short description and photo of the Leopard taken by one of his clients. I thought some of you would like to see this cat. Limcroma Safaris' PH Eric Sorour Hunter, Jody Adams from Louisiana This cat is pending top 10 SCI and over 7 ft long. Weight close to 200 lb.  | ||

JP: I think that's the fella I mentioned in the "Rumor of a big lepoard" thread I posted on the Africa forum. The guy wasn't kidding me while we were in the customs line at Dulles! There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Thats a great cat and certianly any hunter should be quite proud of it. But if that cat is pushing 200 lbs. than the man holding it is over 350 lbs. I hope I don't offend the hunter apparently he is over 7 feet tall. | |||

Congratulations to the happy hunter. That is one great leopard! I can say it dwarfs mine, as the hunter is large, and the feet are still on the ground! For reference, here's a pic of my 7'6" 152# leopard from last month's trip. I'm 6'2" and 240#, my trackers and dog handlers are both about 5'6" and 160#.  | |||

The guy was close to six feet tall, and probably 205 or so. He told me the cat was 185. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||
