I should have made it clear I am NOT from Nebraska LOL. Unfortunately my wife is. I live in northwest KS I was just taking some game to my taxidermist in North Platte. The hunt itself will cost 300 per day and I could stay for for as long as I want. To be honest if I didnt get at least a shot at a leopard I would probably stay until I did! I just estimated 10 days to give myself time to get back to the august bear hunt in New Mexico. The trophy fee on a leopard is 5000 buff is 15000 male lion is 20000. I went on a interior alaska grizzly/black bear hunt in october that cost 5700 no refund for not even spotting a lone grizz. I figured that I got what I paid for and 5000 trophy fee for a leopard was probably the real thing. As for the 338 I have seen what it will do to a black bear and it is probably too strong. Can you imagine how it would feel if we saw a record buff and I lost it because all I had was a 25-06. go K-STATE
