Leopard handgun hunt goes terribly awry!

Rampant_Colt · October 3, 2010, 12:29 PM

Stalking a Leopard in rough brush is one thing, but cornering one is a whole different ball game!

(that revolver looks like a .454)

Leopards can take down animals twice their weight and haul 'em up a tree with ease.. That guy was lucky not to be dinner

... If i am going to hunt a leapord i Want AT LEAST some form of rifle like a 308 would be perfect. Anyone who wants to walk up to a leapord traped in a cave with a hand gun is the world most stupid man

interesting he said they knew the charge was imminent and that why they spread out and took up position.

dont know if it was a handgun hunt. over here hunters tend to carry side arms when they hunt dangerous game, for obvious reasons

thegoldenstate, the Head ph in this vid is a well known ph by the name of Johan Calitz, from Kroonstad RSA. however his hunts are done in Botswana.

he is the ph to Tony Makris on ESPN Under Wild Skies.

Nothing screams "Let's go Hunting" like a pair of baby blue hot pants on a fat guy. Good choice Roy.

I would much rather have a shotgun with 00 3 1/2" Magnums on a Lion hunt with that much brush in front of you.

Ooops!

Having worked with big cats I'd go in a cage with a lion or tiger before i went into a cage with a leopard. Those animals are extremely intelligent, adaptable, and tenacious. That's why they're the most widely spread big cat in the world. Leopards have no problem attack animals four times their size. A fat man in shorts with a revolver isn't any different.

Actually I think it was going just fine until his buddy jumped in . Idiot!
