Maybe the majority of PHs offering hound leopard hunts do not run suitable dogs themselves and maybe those that do are a small group?
But IMO there would no doubt running hounds for leopard would be 'easier' and a higher success rate than sitting endless days in a hide.
Quote:
HE Namibian Professional Hunting Association (Napha) has appealed to the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) to suspend the issuing of leopard and cheetah trophy-hunting permits for 2010.
Napha, which encourages hunting in an ethical and sustainable manner, has also requested a temporary suspension on hunting leopards with hounds.
This suggests also a problem with the population ie numbers.
