Agree..this site has been really good..at least up to when you posted this...I was speaking of some of the garbage on AR...and garbage, I am referring to both the posters and content of their post..

And yeah, shit does happen...as you were and others as well I am sure...why would you assume the leopard was long gone...have not been in Africa a ton..but quite a bit in the last decade--the few times I have hunted there I have come across one every hunt in daylight hours..I am always told that is quite unusual..but none the less, that has been my experience..once a male and female were mating..we heard them from about 100 plus yards..worked our way over to them..found their spore and determined what was going on...plus we found a condom laying in the sand..

--kidding....

Anyway, shortly after we bumped them again not very far away at all---

Last year--a young leopard ran across the road in front of us..we got him on film..he ran to his mother who sat there looking at us in the vehicle for well over 3 minutes...

Like you said---shit happens...and in this case--luckily, all should eventually turn back to normal..
