BigFive is right. When we were hunting together there were a couple of marauding cheetahs on the farm or on nearby farms.

We we told we could shoot them if we saw them but couldn't keep any part as trophies.

I thought great, what if BigFive and I could take a brace of cheetah but the probability of being in the right place at the right time beat us. Nevertheless some spots screamed in a sixth sense "cats" to me and out of four incidents of this we came across leopard tracks nearby twice - not bad a 50% strike rate. Don't forget to listen to the "inner voice", even if its only probability you have to be lucky sometime.
