http://ezine.nitroexpress.info...Asia-PDF/Asia309.pdf Attached is an excellent tiger hunting story from my friend Sam Pancotto. Sam's trophy room has been posted here on AR under, "Tell me about this tropy room" and some of his hunting photos have also been posted here. Sam gave me a dvd of Rose and his tiger hunts, that are truly amazing. Kathi kathi@wildtravel.net 708-425-3552 "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." | ||

Nice story Kathi. Bastar was a fantastic area for hunting. Not many people know this but Asiatic water buffalo were also found in Bastar. My family had an estate few hundred miles west of Bastar, but basically the same forest belt that stretched from Andhra Pradesh state in to Madhya Pradesh now Chattisgarh state. My father shot several tigers there. We used to go as kids what glorious days! Tiger, leopard, bison any amount of horned game. Beautiful teak forest inhabited by very primative tribes in those days - the women would go around bare breasted right up to the early 1980s would you believe. There is still game in those parts but a fraction of what it once was. The tribals are now all modernised and pretty corrupted. The small hamlets and villages have all become huge and dirty. There has been a huge amount of illegal cutting of timber as most of the forest was all valuable teak wood. Communist terrorists (naxalites) had a huge part to play in SCREWING it all up and they are still active today! Arjun | |||

Amazing story. First time I have read this one, though I remember the news papaer reports of a 10.5 foot tiger shot around 1970 when I was a young teenager. A true record class animal and the very last of the huge tigers shot legally in India. The sight of a wild tiger is the most awesome sight one could experience IMHO. Thanks for the post Kathi.
