Leopard Attack in Chewore

Ian Gibson of Chifuti Safaris was at my house for the past week..he had some pretty interesting stories from the previous season..one of the more interesting was about the leopard wounded by a client...He and another PH went in after it the next morning..it attacked his friend..who was momentarily able to shove the gun into the leopard's mouth...the attached photos show what happened...the leopards bite split the stock..along with, if you look closely by the gunsite, actually put a dent into the metal of the gun barrel...The leopard was shot off of the other PH by Ian ----Ian stated, after all was over and they sat around that night, he bite onto the stock as hard as he could..it only put a tiny dot on the wood, he said about the size of a ball point pen...again reveals the incredible power in their jaws...

The PH survived..but did get chewed on a bit...

Sorry for the poor photo quality--
