Yes sir that is his primary business. Sending you a PM.

Understood! Stay out of the way man! Give her my best.

By the way I haven’t seen any comments from @Just Gina ! We need to put here on a Namibia Leopard.

Yes the 14 days was the way to go on this hunt! Getting the leopard on the seventh day sure took the pressure off and made the rest of the time very relaxing. Delta did a good job for me but the Delta One product does not compare to the Q Suites we had in our Zim Trip Nor did the level of...

Exactly

Do it! You only live once!

The Eintracht Farm….l would say cattle ranch is big and beautiful. Bill Capwell hooked me up with Pieter Delport and facilitated both leopard hunts. I can’t thank him enough for all his help. The vistas from on top of one of the mountains will always be in my memories. Can’t wait to go back...

Once in Johannesburg I had to go collect my gun and bags to recheck with Delta. As previously mentioned the passport control people had not been paid so they were going as slow as possible. I’m glad I had a 6 hour layover as Delta 201 departs at 9:55. After getting my gun at SAPs the Delta check...

Art I would live to go next year but we will just have to see!

May 15th it was time to head home! A midday flight to Johannesburg would get me there about 3 PM. AirLink has a nice lounge for business class customers in Windhoek now so after Pieter got me through the gun paperwork and taking me to the various places to pay for the gun handling we said our...

So day 14 we went and refreshed two bait areas as another male leopard was already taking over from the one I shot. The night before he killed one calf and wounded another that would probably end up dead. Another cook out of an excellent roast beef! Did I mention there was plenty of Jack and Coke?

Ok so I still wanted a Duiker. All week we had seen only one female. We saw stienbuck all over the place. I got the SCI # 66 for Namibia on the last trip. Donnie took me out on the afternoon of my next to last day looking one more time. It was sunset when his sharp eyes spotted one at the base...

Something interesting that was going on on the ranch. Pieter’s brother owns part and he had charcoal makers cutting black thorn down to make it. They were doing this all with axes picks and shovels. The old fashioned process makes excellent charcoal which for the most part is exported to Europe...

One suggestion to everyone…..when traveling in another country always know how to contact the US Embassy and know where it is located. The cook Ina took me to town so that I could buy some craft items and I had her drive by the embassy. It is the biggest and fanciest of them all and is only...

A great cook out that night! Farm raised grass fed steaks. Good eating!

So day ten we were determined to get a good springbuck! A lot of driving and stalking up on groups paid off. Pieter got me to within 125 yards of a group of 50 or so and I took the shot. Bang flop! The 300 WinMag worked again, This guy measured 16.25 inches so I’m pretty darn happy! I once shot...

Next on my list was a nice spring buck. The farm down the road is even bigger than Eintracht. Herds of free ranging springboks and oryx criss cross that property. We saw one group of 300. Drove on a bit and see 100. Then 59-60 then another group of 100. We put a stalk on a very good ram of 16”...

So that next day besides skinning and taking more pictures Pieter asked me to go with Donie to shoot an eland cow for a friend who wanted to make biltong. Now let me tell the Apple did not fall far from the tree, Donie is an excellent spotter, stalker and hunter. We set out at about ten to find...

As you can see the entry wound was far back. Even so the animals liver was shredded and really turned into gelatinous goo.

No sir I did not partake. However, the staff was having a bit of disagreement as to who would get what choice parts to eat.

This leopard had some fat on him for sure! He weighed 139 pounds and was 7 feet 3 inches long. That’s is just one inch shorted that the first leopard and about 31 pounds less. So this is a normal size leopard for that part of Namibia.

Seven days into a fourteen day hunt and I had two target animals. Now what!? Well skinning the two cats was up next! Kitit in top photo skinned this leopard and had done a lot of the work on my first leopard. He also grew up on Farm Eintracht and is an excellent tracker. Hans also a long time...

Sir as you know it is all about the outfitter. As the client I depend upon the PH/Outfitter to make all necessary arrangements and set me up for success. In this regard I can not praise Pieter Delport enough. Two leopard hunts and two leopards I think tells the story. From knowing where to set...

So on the way with the truck from the lodge Pieter’s son, Donie, spies another target animal about a mile from where I shot the leopard. Donie says he had seen a caracal and we could stop on the way back to the lodge. After pictures we loaded up all the gear and the cat of course. I sat in the...

Thank my friend.

Thanks to both you and your dad for helping me get ready.

When he got his bath it brightened up.,

Thank you Bob more to come.

Me in my lucky Cabelas jacket that I wore on the last leopard hunt also. With that leopard across my shoulders I felt like I was on top of the world.

It took Pieter’s son,Donie, about 25 minutes to drive the ten miles to where we were located. And then we got some more pictures.

Thank you sir!

After the shot I had seen nothing but heard the cat galloping away from the bait and it seemed that he was coming for us in the blind. Now standing over this beast Pieter says it was a liver shot. He watched the cat drop off the log and roll completely over twice and growl twice. He could see...

I think you are “Spot On” there sir!

Two taps on my right forearm! With the naked eye I see nothing at the tree and the bait in the shadows but I sit slightly forward. As my shoulder pushes against the rifle and my Hands take hold of the stock and I place my finger on the trigger guard. The red dot has activated and as I let my eye...

So two days in the ground blind and no cat. He had developed a new pattern…..miss two days and come one. We refreshed the bait and Pieter was confident that he would come just at sunset. The bait tree was back in some trees so very much in shadow as the sun set in the west. The blind would get...

You have no doubt heard it said that in Africa around every corner there is something that wants to sting, bite, scratch or eat you. In the top picture you see a yellow tree snake invading a large family bird nest that was about eight feet across. Pieter informed me that this harmless looking...

The look through the scope to the bait tree turns out to be about as close to true North as one can get.
