Karl,

How long did the cat measure in total length from nose to tail tip ? That will also give you a good idication on size. Maybe you should have had the client grab it by the throat and see if he would have won the battle against a small 45 kg cat LOL.

Karl is this the same guy that was in camp 2 years ago when I was there the first time ?

Mind you if we were going to shoot on weight only then we would be back to shoot 4-5 year old kudu bulls not the old stuff with 60" horns and in a not so good shape.

Anyway Karl just to add a last point you took very good trophy photos where you would not guess that the leopard only weighed 45kg and anyway I've heard that taxidermists can do wonders with streching that skin and filling it up so if he keeps quiet he could end up with a 140 pound female leopard

Its a bloody nice looking cat and I would not mind shooting one like that.
