Talking to a PH in south Africa, He mentioned leopard MAY become available, seems the powers to be may be considering it.
Any one else hear any thing? .
 
When I hunted the Limpopo area back in 2010, we found Leopard tracks several times. The owner was not too happy about it. That would be great if they do open it.
 
Even if it were to open tags would be very limited. I wouldn’t book beyond the year quota was issued. It would likely remain unstable.

There's a lot of leopard in Limpopo and some being killed in self defense.
My son and granddaughter had a very scary encounter last year at a game farm and were about to kill one.
 
At the moment they are being shot and everyone keeps quiet especially livestock farmers.
It would be great if permits come out again and give them value there a monsters to be hunted in Limpopo with the world record coming from Limpopo.

And before anyone shouts foul the numbers are very healthy its the greenies that can't accept it because they are not easily seen.

Very inteligent cats due to being and unfriendly visitor on most farms. It will be a good hard hunt to out manouvere them.
 
They are not only being shot on farms, but in large numbers. Thermal image has really enabled them to up their game.
 
SA is one of the more problematic African countries if it comes to opening or re opening some quota. To many hands in the cookie jar there in my experience, in other words : to many wanting " hand outs" to do you a " favor" , so it gets expensive with no guarantee of positive longterm outcome .

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary
