Re: Is it really hunting in Africa or game collecting

Gryphon,

Getting a Leopard to the bait, especially in shooting light conditions, is an art in itself.
It starts with looking for spoor of a decent male, then you have to shoot appropriate bait animals, site a decent bait tree, likewise for the hide....etc ending up with shot placement that leaves little room for error.
The key is getting involved in all aspects of the hunt.
I shot my Leopard in National Parks territory, where the use of artificial lights are banned. Not that I would have considered it in the first place.
Hunting Leopard with hounds is something I would love to do, provided it is done the right way. Sitting in the back of a truck , following the chase, and then putting a shot into a treed animal, is one way of not doing it.
