Leopard Attack! A True Story of Survival in the African Bush
A true story of survival in the African bush.
 In mid-August, 2006, on the shores of Lake Cabora Bassa in central Mozambique, professional hunter (PH) Wayne Williamson was relaxing in camp, sipping on a cold beer and watching the sun set. Step-son of the late Basil Williamson (an elephant expert and a legendary figure in the Rhodesian, then the Zimbabwean Game Department), Wayne had been in the bush all his life. He'd done his old man proud, and was (is) one of the most highly regarded PH's out of the Zimbabwean school. On this day he'd just finished leading a safari in a section of land known as the Bower Concession. Photo by Outdoor Life Online Editor AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENT |

Awesome story. That head scar made me lose my lunch.
I just dont beleive these guys. Lucky to be alive!!!!!!
He's a Hawg in the Game!
Oh man. Crazy scar. Agreed. Lucky to be alive for sure.
He lost a HOLE LOT OF BLOOD!
This article reminds me of a leopard attack on Carl Akeley in Africa in the early part of the 20th century. In Mr. Akeley's case, he had to strangle the leopard to death, which REALLY tore up his arm.
that had to be scary i want to meet this guy i wish because i want no what it feels like
You could say that " Wayne almost blew his top."
Too bad the client didn't have to dispatch the cat. Maybe he would become a better shot as a result.
GOD D@#* IT ! When the guide tell you to "shoot straight" THIS IS WHAT HE MEANS ! ! !
That guy is "lucky" to be "just" skinned up.
I'd LOVE to hunt with this guy, cause' THIS is the guy you'd want watching your back in this situation.
How about O L hosting a hunt with this guy as the guide? Make a He(( of a story, don't you think?
first of all i wouldnt use a shotgun. I would have used a rifle but whatever hes lucky and a dumbass for not shooting well. His excitement took over when he took the shot, which is not good.
