Somewhere along the line I struck up a conversation with Gavin aka @PANTHER TRACKERS. Gavin is a South African by birth but makes his home in Australia when not hunting. Many of you know he runs a hunting operation in Mozambique. His specialty is leopard and with hounds.

Well he contacted me about a month ago and let me know he would be in Phoenix in March. He arrived last Saturday. We met up for lunch on Sunday afterward went on to his client's home just a few minutes from where I live. He was to enjoy his client's mountain lion hunt that was in fact successful but a different story.

He was back in town last night when I drug him out to my favorite cigar bar. This gave us even more time to discuss all things hunting Africa but a chance for me to learn more about leopard hunting from an expert. Enjoyed meeting up Gavin and hope the rest of your tip goes well!

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
