The Leopard was shot on June 10th 2018, two hours south west of Windhoek, in the Khomas area, on a 109,000, unfenced ranch.
The same Leopard came to bait the previous year, but did not present himself for a shot. We used a hind quarter of a Zebra for bait, and had several hits on the game camera, prior to shooting him . I have Leopard hunted, on and off for 17 years in Namibia, to date this is the largest Cat shot over bait on this ranch.
10 plus years ago when dog hunting Leopards was legal, the largest Namibian SCI record book Leopard, was shot on this mountain ranch.

The Leopard was shot and wounded. The next morning when we came in to look for blood spoor, we found him 200 yards from the bait, with his left side partially eaten by a brown hyena!!
With his side missing, he weighed in at 68 KG.
