Dear Boss
I was using a 3006 for leopard and have shot 6 man-eating leopards with it
The next problem animal I see in India is the Elephant . Hence I have changed my 3006 with a 375 mag
For ELEPHANT and TIGER. The minimum calibre is a .375 mag and above. That is the LAW . You can not be issued a permit for elephant or tiger on a 3006 or a 12 bore . This law was there during the days of Shikar and still exists
India has almost twice the number of elephants than the holding capacity . Hence the next big problem we shall face is from these animals.
I come from a family of shikaris .
But I can assure you that there is no discrimination towards issue of licences based on casters creed or sex.
As mentioned earlier . The most famous shikaris in India Safath ( mislim) Lakhpat (Hindu) and Joy (Christian ) represent the secular fabric of my country
Sir,
What I understand till now:
There is limited legal hunting for nilgai and boar in some areas in India. (being problematic)
You are also mentioning overpopulation of elephant, and man eating big cats.
The question:
is there a way for foreigner to come to India for legal hunt of problematic animals?
