NAMIBIA: Johnnyblues V.S. Mr. Spots Round Two

Ok, hurry up and gets this Leopard and book some space in the AH Group Hunt.

Good luck on your hunt. Safe travels.
Lmao Thank you.
 
Safe travels & straight shooting to ya!
 
Good luck!!!!!!
 
That's the thing I really love about this forum. I'm personally never going to be in a position to hunt a leopard but I'm genuinely excited to follow this hunt!
 
Made it.....whew. Long flight long drive. Just checked the guns all good. First order of business tomorrow morning is to shoot some warthogs for fresh bait. Let the games begin! Hopefully as we’re on the move some of the tiny critters I’m after show themselves.
 
Looking forward to the report beginning!!!

Hey Dory, just came in for lunch our first morning out. Checked trail cam Pictures nothing hitting unfortunately. But I shot two warthogs for fresh bait. Try and shoot two more later on for our other baits. Currently four running. Drought conditions are horrendous throughout most of Namibia. Our farm has sections that received good rain a while back but nothing near enough. Luckily his has quite a few holes he pumps. So there is water but grass is scarce. Going to try for dik dik tonight and maybe klipspringer if we’re lucky. My PH told me some game farms have lost thousands of head of game. Bad situation here.

OUCH! Geezzzzz. Half a day hunting! Believe me no one wants to get serious more than I do! Lol. Discouraging no baits have been hit in the last week but with fresh bait coming I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

Sorry if you felt pinched there- no disrespect for the 6 pages of pre-trip filler, but it's the hunting I came to read about LOL Now get back out there ! You can rest and sleep when you get back home.

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
