Dr. Kevin Robertson joined me again in this video to talk about Leopard hunting in detail.
We discuss the ins and outs of leopard hunting: bait location and set-up, how to evaluate a trophy leopard, cartridge and bullet selection for leopard hunting , shot placement (and how it’s different for the cats compared to plains game and buffalo), and what can happen if your shot placement is not good.

What a fantastic guest, I've never hunted but have a .375 H&H because I read Death in the Long Grass and couldn't resist😊
I drive a lot and usually listen to podcasts. This was exceptional, I felt like a little boy again sat at the foot of a storyteller wide eyed and ravenous for more.

Glad you enjoyed it! Kevin is an excellent story teller to be sure!

[@hoyt7710]

Check out Selvalore. Very good stories. Lot of stories about the cat hunter Jim Corbett

[@hoyt7710]

Love the hunt stories.

[@mikemennell4989]

Such a pleasure have an interviewer who simply lets the PH talk until they move onto the next subject! Keep em coming!

[@danielbeach4855]

Another home run! Doc is, fortunately for us, a new national treasure.

Hi John ,I have only recently found this channel, l grew up in the bush & have learnt bush craft , hunting & the ways of the animals there, l must say that l find your programs very enjoyable & interesting, especially when you have Kevin Robertson on , l regard him as a Guru when it comes to hunting & animal behaviour.
Keep up the Lekker work .
😊👍

EXCELLENT videos. As an interviewer you do a good job- you let him talk while you ask the right questions and give subtle encouragement. You've also done you're pre-project homework.

[@Thebiggamehuntingblog]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

I'm in Zimbabwe & frequent these same places being talked about - Makuti, Charara, Zambezi Valley & it's escarpment...I also know Paul Clarke, unfortunately he passed away a few years ago...The leopard around us absolutely love baboon more than anything else although they will take the odd domestic goat for dessert!...I've seen a female leopard on Antelope Island in Kariba getting harassed by a troop of baboons & also seen a pair of Lion on the main road between Karoi & Makuti recently...respect from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

Really interesting. Had no idea of leopard's capabilities. My next visit to the zoo to see one will never be the same again.

[@Thebiggamehuntingblog]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tilmannnowakowski8463]

Thanks again for yet another entertaining and educational topic!!!

[@Thebiggamehuntingblog]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great interviews…could ya get him to discuss the 9.3x62 for Buffalo…Thx

[@smokedbrisket3033]

Pretty sure he does talk about it in one of John's other podcasts. Been a year since you made the comment, I'll see if I can find the episode number if you haven't found it yet. IIRC, 9.3x62 is his favorite buffalo *hunting* caliber, though when he was PH'ing, he carried a 505 Gibbs as PH/backup

[@ankiabekker58]

please do a elephant hunting with kevin

[@Thebiggamehuntingblog]

Good idea. I've recorded 2 podcast episodes on the subject with him in the past. Just need to put them on RUclips!

[@garysmith3913]

I can understand a whitetail class caliber being sufficient for leopard, but I would want something more stout for a lion.

[@whillhern]

Anything you guys want to talk about ill listen.

[@starnavigator6665]

Yep leopards are a big pass for me lol 😂
