i can appreciate why some people would be interested in that, but not for me although im not a huge fan of sport hunting anyway, that kind of thing seems to be the way to do it IMHO if youre going to. makes it a little more interesting/"sporting" shall we say. (ive never seen the point in hunting deer with sniper rifles or compound bows with night vision scopes etc)
Hunting rhino or elephant now in Zambia is good for the added thrill of 25 years of making big rocks into small rocks in a Zambian prison. While Ive never been in one, I suspect they are more than modestly unpleasant places to spend time in.

Here is a video about leopards. And something that leopards apparently dislike, a lot. Fortunately, no park rangers were killed in making this video. I think it took place in Kenya.
