If you had a few sighthounds with a bit of grit they would do the same. It's not in a predators interest to fight unless they are forced into doing so.

Greyman 28,217 Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 10 hours ago, DIDO.1 said: It's something people have always argued about. Your more likely to be seriously injured by a leopard but more likely to be killed by elephant, buff or lion. Most PH's killed in Africa have been by buffalo, most 'civillians' by hippo. Cow elephants come second for both groups. If a lion charges and gets through it won't let go until you are dead, a leopard will maul you, the PH and your tracker in seconds then be gone. I've rarely left Lancashire though so I know feck all, just what I've read. Nearest I've come to big game hunting is carrying my double .410 over my shoulder while hunting squirrels and imagining it's a .500 nitro express and pretending I'm on the trail of a wounded buff I met a great old fella at the Westmorland show name of Geoffrey well into his 80s still rides out with the staghounds even travelling regularly to exmoor etc but had spent time tracking and hunting leopard in the colony’s back in his day, he told me if you see them while hunting and they drop out of your line of site more than once it’s time to get gone because the second time they will be stalking you, 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
