DK’s fourth trip with us and this time the focus was a nice big old tom leopard! We were off to a flying start with a solid shot on a buff one hour into the first morning! Unfortunately, whilst a solid shot, it was a little low breaking the front right elbow. The buff kept moving away from us downwind sticking the extremely thick bush along the Mukanga River. Seriously dangerous and exciting stuff – and this went on for 8 hours! Finally, we got to see him and concluded matters in our favor! So, with plenty bait we were able to start looking for a leopard. I was after a specific tom, and on day 5 we got him onto bait. Being a wily old character, he was onto us, and it took a couple nights and some blind modifications to get him into the tree. DK made no mistake and the stunning old tom died right below the bait. We also had the absolute privilege and delight of opening the pedzapasi primary school which CMS had fixed up with DK’s $$$! (video's at the top of the page) Lots of happy and appreciative kids! So, another really rewarding hunt with DK – not only fun to hunt with … there is always more with DK! He and his family have really taken to the kids in Dande and have done so much for them and I think will do more.
