Lion and Leopard on first try




It was my first time to hunt for Lion or Leopard. I am in disbelief. I just returned and will post a full report when I catch my breath a little.

Congratulations! As someone who had to do multiple hunts on both before success, you did many things right to get there!

Congratulations Randy! I’ve also been following your very successful hunt on Lindon’s WhatsApp site. He’s a great PH with several very productive areas.

I think I have used up all my luck for the rest of my life. Told Lin ,"One man should not be allowed to have so much fun."

That was exciting to watch Randy. Lin did not tell us that the leopard was successful but since you were lounging around mana pools at end of hunt I assumed you got him. Well done and congrats!

Congratulations!

In all my hunting years, very few times I got lucky enough to shoot both a lion and a leopard on the same hunt.

May be as we get older, we get more lucky!

Last year I got 2 lions and a leopard!

Keep on hunting, it only gets better! clap

Congratulations and thanks for posting!

I had a chance to kill a lion and leopard on the same safari in Tanzania
once, but I passed on the lion waiting for something better to come along.

Congrats and very well done sir.
I always enjoy reading of your exploits. You seem blessed with copious luck. Could you please send a little my way for an upcoming Nyakasanga hunt ?
Cheers


Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing.

Well done and some fantastic luck there. Look forward to your report!

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Congratulations! I spoke with you today on the phone about my planning for a Bongo hunt for 2024! You provided good advice as always! I got to know you last November as I researched and planned for my elephant hunt! I wanted to go to the location you advised and with your trusted Ph but it did not work out. He did not get the tender for the concession as you know. I ended up in Botswana this April and was successful on a great elephant. I had to extend the hunt and hike a couple hundred miles but in the end it all worked out! I am so thankful that people like you are receptive to help total strangers when they reach out! Thanks for helping me! I was lucky and got a wild lion and leopard last August in the Rungwa of Tanzania and that was my first try on lion! I learned of the statistics of hunter success and getting one on your first try definitely cant be counted on where I hunted! I have talked to so many including the likes of Craig Boddington and heard their stories of having to go many times before they were successful on cats! If I recall it took Craig three or four tries to get his first leopard! Congratulations again and I know you are looking forward to your next safari already!

Mark, I have to give you a thanks, if you had not mentioned the leopard and then combine it with a lion, I would have never even dreamed to do it. Everything worked out flawlessly. Thanks again.
