In the podcast Rick minter suggests that the cub is from the leopard the guy shot the year before,the guy agrees it’s possible,it’s all a bit contrived.
-
Seen a few today,and coons,all dead.
-
500 illegals a day enter the UK in small boats,a kitten is no problemo. The guy who shot the the two leopard forwarded the pic of the 6-7 month old “leopard” he shot to Rick Minter,this is the immature leopard cub shot as it fed off a dead lamb.
-
Chatuchak market if you established bona fides and pulled out the readies you could probably still get a cub in LOS. Bengal tiger cubs here are only $2500.
-
I will give you your % after the cub price from a million quid sterling at the current exchange rate we have just over 1.3 million USD to split.
-
20 odd years ago you could have probably bought one of those cubs charts,good memories.
-
Vietnam or indo,but Xinjiang used to be dirt cheap and it’s one of those places you rarely meet people who have been.I stayed in a hotel there where the water in the rooms didn’t work so had to shower in a boiler room,that was cheap,also stayed in a yurt which cost nowt.Kashmir is stunning.
-
I think he shot them in Herefordshire,but had been doing some work in Africa and his computer is over there?Listen to the podcast,Minter’s interview style is leading,never asks any probing questions,but when the guy who shot the leopards said if you could get a pic of a cat in the UK it would be worth a million yet this is a guy who shot two leopards in the UK…………..

Just finished listening to big podcast episode 96 the gamekeeper one from 26’th may.The guy states he shot 2 leopards in the UK,an adult and an immature cub,then said and and I think he repeated it twice in the podcast “If you could get a good pic of a leopard in the wild in the UK you would make a million” which begs the question why didn’t he photograph the dead leopards?I think he photographed the cub but the pic is on his computer in Africa?

You’re not so far from semporna,good place to visit some badjao floating villages,leastways it used to be.You doing Mt Kinabalu bell?Sepilok for the ginger apes?Good trip,how long you there for?
-
I got chatted up by a lady 2 weeks ago,invited me out for a drink (I am teetotal) and I look like shit warmed up normally,it’s not about women,it’s just about kicking about and going on walkabout,plus I have a few things to do over here,we are a long time dead. Why not go to Tibet or Xinjiang?Or Kashmir (Indian one),Bangladesh maybe?
-
It’s changed already.There’s a chance of meeting your demise over here,plenty of places to hide a body,FBI reckon there’s 25-50 serial killers operating at any given time.
-
That’s it in a nutshell.
-
The internet has shrank the world far quicker than planes,anyone sees a photogenic place nowadays online and that’s it,everyone wants to be a vlogging nomad.
-
Come over here,jump buses and trains,take a road trip,it’s relaxing.
-
It’s commercialised already,once instagrammers descend any place is f****d.I remember getting up and out at 6am in Prague just so my lady could get a pic of a fairly deserted Charles Bridge,after 7am it was Instagram and Chinese tourist central,wall to wall,you could hardly move.
-
Doing a bit of a walkabout over here at the minute,back in UK december’ish.
-
Asia is easy to travel in for a family,you know the score,a rolling stone gathers no moss.
-
Not to Thailand or the Philippines I hope?My missus loves Thailand,my kids like both,the world is changing and so are peoples mindsets,Palawan in the Philippines was voted No1 island in the world,it’s absolutely stunning,pure white sand and palm trees,deserted beaches,I could tell you of one an hour away which is equally as good but far smaller,some people like to go walkabout,don’t judge them by destination.
-
I am more dubious of people who stereotype without having a real understanding of the world,travel broadens the mind.
-
True story,a friend of mine spent £90k for two weeks there last Christmas-new year,kylie minogue put on a show New Year’s Eve,I think he paid £18k for the table to watch her?
-
Have you any health issues arising from whatever you did back then?
-
Indonesia is far rawer than the Philippines and considerably cheaper when your there,they still have culture and more things to see and do,the PI is a poorer version.
-
When I first went to Burma it was FIFO 48 hour visa,it’s opened up a lot now,the next place to be “discovered” you can even rent e-bikes and do hot air balloon flights over the plain of Bagan,that’s when you know it’s f****d.
-
Indonesia is fantastic,went to see the dragons in the 1990’s,really nice place to kick about.Only been to Turkey once (midnight express put me off),it was ok,just ok,I wouldn’t rave about it.I don’t book with anyone special mate,loads of online sites nowadays,all much of a muchness.
