2007 Dallas, 1st edn, 196pp, 150 photos in color, limited to 1250 signed, numbered copies in a presentation box. Leopard hunting requires the most complex chess game in the world of African hunting, the goal to get a nighttime predator to accept a piece of meat that it did not kill-at a time and place of your choosing. Drawing on their own extensive experience hunting leopard, with input from several of Africa's most experienced professional hunters, Leopard is the most in-depth treatise on the subject ever created. Subjects include the history of leopard hunting, leopard country today, guns and loads, the danger factor, and trophy judgment. The book includes tracking and the use of hounds, but it focuses primarily on the chess game of baiting and includes setting the bait, building the blind, waiting, handling problem leopards, placing the shot, and following up. Craig Boddington describes the book as follows: "In all my years of African hunting, no other species has provided more highs and lows than my pursuit of the African leopard, the most beautiful and possibly the most challenging member of the Big Five. Our new book Leopard is a joint collaboration with my partners Tim Danklef and Dave Fulson (producers of my Boddington on Leopard DVD) and is, without a doubt, the most in-depth study on the history and hunting of this magnificent cat ever produced. "After a great deal of thought and consideration, we have decided to offer Leopard only in this one-time limited edition printing. Leopard will NEVER be reprinted-not in another limited edition nor in a trade edition, guaranteeing this book will become an instant collector's item. It is limited to 1,250 copies only, numbered and signed by all three authors." Fine copy in a very good plus clamshell.
