Excellent report. Awesome Cat and a job well done.
Thank you sir. I can never give enough credit to my PH/Outfitter Pieter Delport. The guy knew what he was doing and was so connected with all his neighbors that we got an excellent last minute opportunity!
 
Congratulations and Thanks once again for sharing your great adventure and your success with us, those photo canvasses that you had done look great.

That will be a great hunt Charlie. But now that you have your leopard, I thought you'd be going after a rhino next so that you can complete your big 5!

Not convinced that I want to kill one Bob but I might dart one someday.

I had seen the product in places like SAMs and COSTCO but never realized that Walgreens drugs had them. My wife had just received a coupon via email for 60% off the things so it was a very cost effect way to try this out.

Thanks for the heads up! Might have to try a couple;)
 
I finally got a chance to catch up on your story. What a magnificent beast of a cat Charlie!!! Congratulations!! I very much enjoyed the entirety of your report. Thanks so much for taking us along.
 
View attachment 405682Well folks I am finally off for Namibia. Hunt was cancelled last year as was everything and previously messed up and cancelled in 2016 Zimbabwe. Wish me luck And I will share the adventure as I go!


Good luck CAustin. I've been fortunate enough to have hunted Namibia with Jamy Traut 3 times. If you can hunt the Waterberg Plateau & the Kalahari, do it! Harvested two fantastic Buf, a giant of a black Giraffe, Croc, Hippo, Eland, Roan, & many outstanding plains game. Hopefully an Elephant in the very near future. I shoot a VC .450-.400 & a Blaser .375 H&H for the big stuff & (generally) a Blaser .257 Wby & Blaser .300 Win for the rest. Just starting to plan another Namibia/Zambia hunt next August ('22). Here's hoping you have a successful & great time. TDB333 Also, if you're going to Africa try Quatar Air. Fantastic Airline & well worth the business class fair...........

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
