I don't know if it was that they didn't think much of hunting leopards but that they seldom saw them. I read a book by Donald Ker recently that said in the early days they didn't bait for leopards so it was fairly rare to see one let alone shoot one. Because of this they didn't really give leopard hunting much of a thought because without baiting what would the chances be? Interesting to see others desired game. I have hunted a kudu and impala and to me that symbolised Africa which is why I took them. It would not concern me if I didn't hunt plains game again. I also have a cape buffalo and cannot wait to go back to hunt another one. Tracking old bulls in thick cover is what hunting is about to me. Also went for the leopard as I have read/heard so much about the art of getting them to the bait in daylight I would love to experience it. Would only be taken by natural light.
