Personally I think I would like a larger and male leopard as a trophy, but have never seen one in the wild, nor can they be imported into Aust anyway so a moot point.

However I think if you've agreed to hunt a cattle killer, been told it is a female or a small male, and then shoot it, it is a bit too late to complain afterwards, especially when it is weighed.

I guess scales are like tape measures, the smile gets bigger or disappears.

A trophy is a trophy irrespective of what the tape measure (or scales) say.

Also an exciting hunt is the part of what makes a hunting trip. The trophies for the wall are for the memories. JMO.

For info, what would be the usual weight of an average female leopard?
