But none the less I chose leopard and other, other to me would have to be bushbuck!
Having not been to Africa yet I couldn't think of anything more exciting then hunting a big Tom on foot, not over bait or with hounds.
And as for bushBuck everything I have read or heard about them just excites me. Would love to take one with my mock lee speed sporter.
You reminded me of a hunt I had in Zim with the PH Nixon..we were hunting buff...we were quite a ways from our truck and got to some really thick bush when we heard the indistinguishable sound of a leopard ahead of us..we very quietly moved into the area slowly moved along in an attempt to get a look at him..we ultimately go winded and never got to see them..by the tracks a tom was breeding a female as we come upon them...another time a few years later, also in Zim..we were hiking in to hang a bait..dragging an impala..another leopard let out a growl...we sat and waited looking we spotted him slowly moving his way out of our area...incredibly animals to see in the wild..
