is there a trophy fee, a fine, or an angry neighbor? Steve "He wins the most, who honour saves. Success is not the test." Ryan "Those who vote decide nothing.

What do you bait those things in with? Ground squirrels? Meerkats? "...Africa. I love it, and there is no reason for me to explore why. She affects some people that way, and those who feel as I do need no explanation." from The Last Safari | |||

No wonder I havent see FiFi the last couple of days in the old oak tree. I wonder if FiFi charged after the first shot missed the vitals! Nice pussy kitty. | |||

Guys, I'd be ecstatic with a trophy like that. The African wildcat is one of the rarest and most elusive of game animals. Larry should be very happy with his trophy. Mark MARK H.

 Now that's funny!!! Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

If you look closeley, you will see that his nose is completely black. This is the sign of a true African trophy Wildcat. We shot these in Namibia with lights while out hunting for Jackal in 2001. Gras ranch has quite a few of them. | |||

Do you call these cats in or are they taken by chance while hunting something else. | |||

LOL... I met Larry at the Afton house a couple of weeks ago. Very nice guy, I hope his hunt went well! 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.

Great trophy! Hard to come by (at least they have been for me). Congratulations, in spite of all of the comments made in jest. | |||

Best place to find the African Wild Cat is around grain fields. They are there looking for rodents. I recommend using a shotgun with #4 (US) shot but do not shoot them at close range. 35-45 yards is best. They are indeed great trophies.

Glad to see you guys all had a good laugh on this monster. As Mark says, these are a hard to come by trophy. We baited extensively for this cat because as Wendel says, he has a solid black nose. It took almost a full buffalo in different bait sites before he finally came in. Luckily we got him. Thanks to some of Dirk Lawyers fine loads in 500NE it only took two shots. Will send the real story soon when I can post some photos. Thanks for the humor Wendell. Larry York, SC | |||

I have done a lot of predator calling here in South Africa. In specific area's they are common when calling for jackal and caracal. They breed easily with domestic cats.
