There's really only 3 ways of hunting Leopard. Tracking, where the chances of success are incredibly low, with dogs, which has a very high success rate, but to me is unsporting and not my cup of tea. I don't condemn those who do it, but don't want to do it myself. Or by bait and blind techniques which is largely all about the skill of the PH and is similar to a game of chess in many ways. Shooting the Leopard from the blind should be the easiest shot of a safari, but is the shot most likely to be stuffed up..... getting a suitable cat onto the tree so it can be shot, is extremely difficult and as I said, requires a lot of skill.

As for shotguns on Leopards. As I previously said, others can use what they like, but I'll stick with my .500. I'd be very interested to hear from those that do say they use a shotgun, how many of them have shot and killed a wounded Leopard with their shotgun alone. My guess is that number would be considerably lower than the number that haven't been stopped by a shotgun alone or have been stopped by or with the aid if a rifle........ but hey, it's their skin and their choice, not mine.
