Firearms For Feline Menaces: The Best Guns For Indian Leopards

Great
As my third entry on AH forums , I wish to write an article about the best firearms for tackling the different species of Leopards found in the Indian subcontinent . While I certainly am not the most qualified person to be writing about this subject ( since there are far more experienced Shikaris than I , who have taken larger numbers of Indian Leopards under more unfavorable conditions ) , I am optimistic that my modest bag of 25 man eating West Bengal Hunting Leopards will allow me to write SOMETHING on this subject . For the purposes of this article , I shall be making four posts and one conclusion .
The four posts shall be as follows :
* Guns For Clouded Leopard
* Guns For Spotted Leopard
* Guns For Hunting Leopard
* Guns For Follow Ups

I would like to give special thanks to my former commanding officer, fellow forum member and close personal friend , @Major Khan , a retired Central Indian professional professional Shikari who provided me with a great deal of information based on his personal experiences with these fiends , as well as a few of his personal photographs.
I hope that this entry shall not be too bad in terms of quality of content .
Well... Here, we go .

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
