Leopard - How I Hunt (Zoom Safari #3 by Nathan Askew)

Nathan did a great job of describing all the components that go into a leopard. This zoom meeting will give a good foundation for anyone to start researching and planning a leopard hunt.

Great Job Nathan!(y)(y)(y)
 
When will the Zoom Leopard meeting be up?
Hello, i am working on the 'anything africa' zoom now and hope to have it completed soon.
I am going to start on the Leopard video edit as soon as I run out of fireworks this weekend! So i expect by end of next week it will be up as well.
thanks
 
Last Wednesday's Zoom Safari on Leopard hunting insightful and educational, Nathan did a fantastic job covering Leopard hunting from start to finish. The following is a list of some of the topics Nathan covered:
  • Leopard quote by Country
  • What makes a good Leopard area
  • What questions to ask you Outfitter before selecting them for your Leopard hunt
  • What questions to ask your PH about Leopard hunting
  • Calibers and loads for Leopard hunting
  • Selecting the proper baiting site
  • Blind construction
  • Pre-baiting
  • Baiting during the hunt
  • Types of bait for Leopard
  • Number of baiting sites
  • How much bait do you need
  • What work is required to establish and maintain a bait/hunting site
  • Blind etiquette
  • Pre-shot setup and routine
  • Executing the shot
If you are planning a Leopard hunt in the future I highly recommend you watch this video its a real eye-opener into the world of Leopard hunting.

This leopard one is FULL of info...allow yourself some time per episode if you're really interested in a successful leopard hunt.

This episode 'zoom 3 how I hunt leopard' is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to cats and the things that we do to sort them out.
 
I look forward to seeing you with a dead cat and a great adventure to share!
 
Will be looking forward to your report. Best of luck!

Nathan, thanks for sharing the zoom meetings. This was great dialogue that I needed to hear and learn from. Leopard is high on my list and I already have all of these book marked for multiple listens.

Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
