Beautiful rifle.

Just wanted to understand are theses Trophy animals or cull animals. Cheers.

Unfortunately things have come to a hold unless there's another human kill. Cheers.

Dear Habibsaheb you are absolutely right this is not the man-eater. Moreover I have not yet received the photo of the other leopard which was found dead in a Nala. Unfortunately things are going out of control because of wrong policy and policy makers. God bless us. Cheers.

Folks the hunting expedition has come to a sudden hold after a leopard was hacked to death by the locals and another one found dead in a Nala. Very unfortunate. This happens when you don't have good managers in the forest department. Sad.

Leopard Hunt

Dear Habibsaheb, In the photo which I have posted now it's Mr.Lakhpat Singh Rawat himself and he narrated the story to me . He has shot 55 till now and the most interesting thing about him is he was not a hardcore hunter as I would say it all came over a period of time as he gained experience...

Gentleman the 375 is behind the hunter who's holding the 315. You could very clearly see the bolt . Looks like a model 70 to me. Cheers.

Yes it's an 315. Let me ask about the specific 375 or an original un cropped photo.

Ye Yes the rifle in the photo is a indian 315. The 375 was a borrowed rifle which was probably returned at night. This photo was taken next day morning.

A man-eater taken a few years ago with 375 h&h. It was a 300 yards shot at night in the gut. The leopard went 25 yards and was recovered next morning. Shot by a fellow hunter. Amazing damage. Ammunition used - he doesn't remember. But it was a SP he said. What an effect.

Unfortunately 235 grain ammunition not available here in India. Cheers

Yes, unfortunately hunting would never open in india looking at the current situation. I think even in man-eater cases if the government issues license on time that would be great. Anyway my condolences to the families who lost their dear ones. Cheers.

Yes it was. Thanks.
