I've been in the same bush with a leopard, you never see them but they are there, you need big cahonies for this.
Your lion hunt will be organized for you but I have a few tips.
1) Forget the scope on your rifle, you hunt with open sights and they are factory sighted as well.
2) Take the scope off and go the Vancouver zoo and look at the bearded guy so that you know what you will have to shoot because when it happens its all a blurr
3) don't worry about your scent, when the bearded guy comes through the bush is will smells like Chillawack around you. ( eat lots of garlic the night before that might help when you miss)
4) Get the biggest gun you can get your hands on. If you don't have the money take your brothers 22 and your uncles 30-06 and buddies 7mm and duct tape them all side by side with your 270. Line up the triggers so that you can pull them all at the same time. Don't worry about the recoil or the sound, everything happens in slow motion at that time.
5) You have to find the Kudu first then your skills are honed.
6) Last tip. Don't mingle with the locals too much, you will come back with seafood if your lucky
Good luck man I hope you make it.
