NAMIBIA: My Leopard Hunt Begins

Gate B29

Well folks the time has finally arrived. As most of you know I'm about to begin my quest for leopard in Namibia. And as most of you know this is my first safari. Hell I've been ranting and raving about it for a year. . I want to thank all the members and PH,s for all the advise and knowledge they have graciously passed along. It's been informative and invaluable. This is quite then web site for African hunting. My hats off to everyone involved. I still find it hard to believe I'm on my way to Africa . In my wildest dreams I thought this was unattainable. I've been fortunate or maybe foolish ( not sure) to have hunted quite a bit thru out our country including Alaska, Canada,Mexico and New Zealand.

What I will try to do is touch base every few days wi if permitting of course. I'll upload pictures and my thoughts. In advance let me say I'm not a writer, I asked Gizmo ( Eric) if he could write for me as I'm sure you remember his report was fabulous. But he mumbled something about having to take him with me or something like that. Lol. My report will be nothing like that! My hope is to put a cat in the salt early so I can hunt some plains game. Let's see what the hunting gods have to say.

In any event once again thank you all for putting up with me . Talk to everyone soon.

You're not a writer.... that's funny!!!!

You're one of the most passionate writers on this forum! Just do your hunt report like you do every other post you make here and it is going to be one heckuva report!

The time has come. Hunt hard!

I have been silently following your trail camera updates and other posts regarding this trip. I sincerely wish that you get an opportunity at a cat, and look forward to your updates during the hunt.

I'm also interested in your overall experience with this company and the quality/numbers of eland! Thanks for researching my next trip to Nam for me!
