R got 2 impala rams and on day 1, so we managed to get 2 baits out before dark. Day 2 big male leopard found our baits on the Mwonzamtanda River at 3h55pm and fed throughout the night until 830am. We built a blind on day 3 and sat in the evening but he was educated, so we sat until 8pm and then left the blind. We walked in the morning of the 4th day and found him feeding. R made a great shot through his heart and he was dead within seconds. That afternoon we went for a walk along the Manyimo River above Mururu Camp, hoping to find bushbuck. We happened upon a fresh ele bull track with lots of wear. We tracked him for 30 minutes and came up to him. Turned out that he was exceptional, so made a final approach to 20 yards and R side brained him. What a great day. We walked for Myles, looking for bushbuck, waterbuck and dagga boys, but failed to find any shooters. We enjoyed some dove and grouse shooting. We spent a day hunting hippo, but only saw 2 good bulls, but they were unapproachable.
