    Default Bumped into another hunter today.

    Driving home from a successful hunt, about 40 minutes ago, I bumped into our female cheetah close to my house. Twenty minutes later it started pouring with rain. A lucky day, for a change.

    Was very dry here too, only started raining a little on the weekend. We had 3 veld fires in 7 days, not much rest and my nerves are a little frayed. Every time I hear thunder I start checking for smoke. At least now, the veld can't burn.

    I feel your pain. A week ago they forecasted 25mm plus for tonight, now about 5mm. Day zero now becoming a reality...

    Glad you got some rain at least.

    Great sighting. The collar, is it to track them or research purposes?

    Awesome to see these guys, he's rather close to built up area. Looking for easy food source maybe?

    I think she is just passing through the area, it is my house in the background and it is 3km's from the nearest other house. The gps collar is used for keeping track of her position. We also have two males, the three of them live in a 22 000 ha area and we seldom see them face to face.
