Hi John,

I've honestly never seen an area with as much Leopard activity as this one......and there were plenty of similar sized spoor to the cat we took. - One must be about 15% bigger one his one front paw and the other front paw is missing the toes. - Probably got caught in a snare at some time...... but that bugger just ripped the baits down and took them off to eat elsewhere. Incidentally, during the 2 week cat hunt, we saw Leopards twice in the daytime and found two fresh (and I really do mean fresh) natural kills.

The Elephants are in large family herds with lots of babies and the bulls are sometimes with them and/or sometimes in small groups. - mostly between 2-4. They move up and down the Tuli Block but seem to visit each area for a few days and then move on. Seems to be about a 5-7 day cycle. We currently have permission to hunt the Elephants on 4 adjoining areas and are working on expanding that number.

Regarding the flatdogs, the largest one I hooked into, I had on for 45 minutes but it was vitrually impossible to turn him with the tackle I was using..... lotsa fun though.
