Somebody mentioned Paddock Pizza.
The pic below is also a fine demonstration of Trophy Stretch. I think this one would be a cert for Rowland ward if they had a category for Wild Rabbit.

Rifle is a Sako A111 in .300WM. A touch worn, but sufficiently accurate.

On the subject of leopards and measurement.
I recall reading that the "ethical" way to measure a leopard was between the pegs, but that those who wished to exaggerate, measured "over the curves". Cats normally having curved spines, the latter measurement being greater.

I can only speculate that as the animal relaxes after death, any tension - including that of gravity as it is held in an unnatural position - would incline the spine the straighten aned hence measure longer. Rigour Mortis, if permitted to take place while the spine was in its natural curvature, would serve to limit this elongation by maintaining the curve.

Cheers........ Peter

(Who has shot no cat larger than the domestic variety)
