Leopard Tanzania.
Jaco, you are obviously an authority on leopard hunting. What do you feel is the best shot to take on a leopard? High shoulder ?, or behind the shoulder heart/lung region. I know this is an old thread but hoping you can give me some insight, as you know I ll be hunting them soon. Thanks. Johnnyblues.View attachment 29924 View attachment 29925

My best always
Yes sir I agree. There are some good pictures on shot placement on the site. I've studied them and agree if I split the body in half and hold just behind the shoulder very similarly as shooting a whitetail I should catch lungs and possibly the top of the heart.johnnyblues, I would shoot for the lungs. If you miss this target exactly, you will probably be alright, but mess up the high shoulder shot and you are most likely going to have problems. A animal can not live if it can't breath
Very nice cat. Congratulations to everyone2nd night, MozambiqueView attachment 47194
