I'm no one's agent I'm Mike Blignauts partner and Martin Pieters USA office. This hunt was donated to KCSCI at Amundundamela a forestry area located at the south east corner of Hwange National Park. They have 2 cats on open quota. There's tons of plains game in the area and baiting is difficult so these permits are seldom used or filled. Since it's a forestry parks boundary area we always have a game scout. The last dedicated leopard hunt we did here was some time ago but yielded the current crossbow world record. I have personally seen leopard in the day including an enormous male standing in the 2 track my last visit so a "by chance" opportunity is possible given the high numbers of cats living in the area. My point is why do so many of you always jump straight to the bad side of this business? Nothing to do just be negative armchair quarterbacks?
Agreed. I killed my leopard in the daylight and in seven trips I have seen two other leopards in the daylight while out hunting on foot. I know it’s unusual but it does happen. One was a large male, the other, a female. I do agree however, that shooting a leopard while out hunting other species on foot or from the safari vehicle is highly unlikely.
