Long Walker I am honored that you took the time to write me such a helpful reply. It never once occurred to me that I can merely reduce the powder charge for my 175 grain Barnes TSX soft nose cartridges, in order to successfully use them against Mouse Deer. Let us start experimenting from...

375 Fox Thank you ! This is exactly what I need . Those internet stories about monolithic brass bullets prematurely wearing out barrel rifling are just stories , yes ?

Hello Everyone, I was wondering you all of you could advise me on a small matter . This is a Mouse Deer. We hunt them quite a lot in these parts ( their venison is marvelous) . For years , I have been using my 12 Bore William Wellington Greener Wildfowl Gun and No. 6 cartridges to put them...

Wyatt Smith If the Major Sir cannot convince Riaz to join AH forums, then I will convince him ! This man deserves to be here !

Major Sir Fantastically narrated , as always . It takes a different kind of determination for a man to kill four Hunting Leopards in his life with LG buckshot cartridges . Remember that story in Riaz’s book which details his 1997 pursuit of a man eating Royal Bengal Tiger ? He shot the fiend...

I have alway had a lifelong fascination with either of these two : - .500 Nitro Express - .500 Jeffery

I have personally had a great degree of success against our 135 kilogram Bengal Bush Boars , with my 7 millimeter Remington Magnum and 175 grain Remington Core Lokt soft nose cartridges. Mine is a custom job made for me by custom American rifle maker , Mr. Jim Zahm of Oregon, USA in 1976 on...

375 Fox There are countless reasons for this . We were born in an era , where school children in India and East Pakistan were taught that it is mandatory to write a journal every night before we went to bed . We were taught that it helps us to appreciate life more . It was the era before “...

Mark Hunter Would you like me to write a story about my most recent Chital Deer Shikar on AH forums, sometime soon ?

Major Sir Would it not be a good idea to ask Riaz to join AH forums ? He certainly does qualify as AH forum material , does he not ?

Sir, Should you ever find yourself in Bangladesh, it would be our honor to guide you on a Shikar for Kakar Deer and wild boars , from an elephant howdah . This can be arranged in the Maulvi Bazaar forests and the Kakar Deer and the wild boars will be hunted by way of beats . It shall be just...

Bob Nelson You should see Major Khan , when he hunts in the Sundarbans. He wades waist deep into the water at times, just to stalk a Chital Deer !

Wyatt Smith We will be honored to be your Shikar guides . You can hunt a Chital Deer and a wild boar there . Also , some nice cranes and common sheldrake ducks .

Major Sir, This is an extremely educational video , which you have shared . On a related subject , would it not be better for us if Riaz joined AH forums , himself ? With a kill count of three Hunting Leopards (two of which were man eaters ) , he is certainly eligible to be AH forum material ...

John Rigby & Co. turns out an excellent product ! I used a Double Rifle made by John Rigby & Co. in 1973 and 1974 to put down 16 man eating Hunting Leopards . It was a .375 Holland & Holland Magnum, which was regulated for 300 grain Winchester Silvertips and full metal jacket cartridges. Even...

Gizmo Hello and thank you . It is very much possible for an American to come and hunt here in Bangladesh. Our close friends from USA come to Bangladesh quite frequently to hunt with us . A visitor may bring any two firearms ( except .303 British or 9 millimeter Parabellum ) and 250 cartridges in...

Paul Hello. I am honored by your kindness. I love Schrade knives and have been carrying and using the carbon steel Old Timer “ Trapper “ model for the last five decades of my life .Carbon steel knives can very easily take a keen razor sharp edge , just by sharpening the blades on common...

Buck Wild This particular specimen had very tiny horns as well. However, they are difficult to see due to the angle of the photograph. I will go Kakar Deer hunting again in May. Then , I shall take a proper photograph of the beasts horns and upload it here .

IvW What shotgun/shot size combination do you use for African geese shooting ? Your combination gun ?

Shootist43 Her exact words were , “ Oi Haramjada ! Tumi ki amake shobshomoy bhoy dekhate pochondo koro ?! “ ( You big Bully ! Do you always enjoy finding new ways to terrify me ?!) . Needless to say , the beaters were all silently laughing , while I was getting publicly scolded. Of course ...

New Boomer It is my honor , that you have enjoyed this story so much . I strongly believe that a hunt is a “ team effort “ and not merely the effort of the gentleman who pulls the trigger. I always see to it , that the team is extremely content working with me . And besides , hunting wild boars...

Jeff I am honored that you have enjoyed it so much.

CBH Australia I do believe that the appropriate term is , “ Clearance Sale “ . Major Khan Sir is correct. For example , Winchester Australia ceased to manufacture AAA cartridges after 2013 , and ceased to manufacture shotgun cartridges altogether in 2018 . Now in Bangladesh , only the...

Bob Nelson I actually love hunting wild boars ! My beautiful wife of 45 years is a Protestant Christian and I often bring her back a wild boar from a Shikar ( when she is actually hunting with me , that is ) , as she loves the meat and considers it to be a delicacy. I also distribute the fresh...

Bob Nelson I certainly wish that four horned antelopes were available in Bangladesh ! I have not had the pleasure of hunting any , since 1970 ( in India ) . I have only had the good fortune to shoot two of these creatures in my entire life. However , their venison is indeed , “ To Die For “ ...

Red Leg Yes . I have seen some 12 Bore shotgun cartridges imported into Bangladesh , which employ bismuth shot pellets . The ones which I have seen are from the British company , “ Eley Hawk “ . @Major Khan Sir has tried them out a few times in his 1957 made Belgian side by side shotgun...

Flat Water Bill You are pinpoint accurate , in deciphering the pellet size of the AAA cartridges , which I employ . These 12 Bore 2 3/4 inch 32 gram AAA cartridges , each hold 42 pellets inside them. The diameter of each pellet is 5.08 millimeter. Our largest greylag geese weigh up to five...

Long Walker Those are some extremely marvelous looking specimens of geese ! I see that you and I both share a mutual passion for the art of geese shooting. Indeed, I have observed that BB seems to be the most popular shot size for the Shikar of geese. Here in Bangladesh, the most popular...

Wyatt Smith Our largest geese in Bangladesh can easily weigh up to five kilograms . Oh , yes ! It often escapes my memory that legal regulations in the USA often mandate the use of non lead shot pellets for the hunting of waterfowl.

Stephen Ausband Thank you for your educational response. The left barrel of my shotgun is fully choked , while the right barrel is an improved modified choke. My shots are typically taken at around 45 yards range .

Red Leg Thank you for your educational response . It helped me to understand more about goose shooting in the USA . I have also heard that AAA ( The pellet diameter of the Australian variety , which I use is 5.08 millimeter) is not a very popular shot size in USA for geese . I am much...

I was having a telephone conversation with a close American friend of mine today , and one of our topics was the subject of goose shooting . I told my friend that I have been using Winchester Australia 2 3/4 inch 12 Bore 1 1/8 ounce ( 32 gram ) AAA cartridges ( which hold 42 pellets to the...

CBH Australia Thank you . Even if we all live on different corners of the earth, I strongly believe that it is our mutual love for this marvelous sport and hobby , which unifies us all and brings us together as one big international hunting community.

Die Jager Oh, that is very interesting. I use my 12 Bore shotgun , loaded with AAA cartridges for hunting Kakar Deer by way of beats. As well as shooting foxes . For Chital Deer or wild boar or the odd Asian Sloth Bear , I use my 7 millimeter Remington Magnum and 175 grain Remington Core Lokt...

Shootist43 I am honored that you have enjoyed it so much. My rifle is a 7 millimeter Remington Magnum , built by an American custom rifle maker named Mr. Jim Zahm of Oregon, USA in 1973 . It is built on a Springfield Model 1903 receiver , with a Turkish walnut stock and a Douglas barrel. The...

Cpr0312 Thank you. I am honored that you have enjoyed it so much .

Die Jager Thank you . Do Roe Deer also weigh 18 Kilograms ? Are they hunted with shotguns loaded with AAA cartridges or No. 4 buckshot , as well ? I have just looked at a photograph on the internet , of a Roe Deer. They look quite similar in size to our Kakar Deer , indeed . Are they ever...

Mark Hunter I am honored that you enjoyed it , first thing in the morning.

Kakar Deer shot by the Author.

Ridge Walker I am much inclined to agree with you. Among my many favorite American things , are the 7 millimeter Remington Magnum and the Springfield Model 1903 receiver. Fortunately in 1976 , Mr. Jim Zahm of Oregon, USA was able to combine both my favorite caliber and my favorite platform into...

Wyatt Smith I am honored that you have enjoyed this short story.

.375 Fox America is blessed , and truly a marvelous nation . In Bangladesh ( from a legal point of view ) , you can own any caliber or rifle that you like ( except .303 British . However, this law was enacted prior to 1947 . During the British colonial era . Our government simply never cared to...

Marko Polo50 I am honored that you have enjoyed this simple, little story so much . We actually use Alsatian dogs quite a lot for Shikar . I have used them in the past for hunting Kakar Deer over dogs . However , you cannot use AAA cartridges to hunt Kakar Deer over dogs , because there will...

Major , Sir It shall be my honor . Shall we be hunting in Munshiganj , this year ? The greylag geese in that area can get exceptionally big , you know.

375 Fox I am honored that you have enjoyed it. Out of layman’s curiousity, exactly how heavy can your USA Whitetail Deer typically get , on average ?

Due to the overtly depressing set of circumstances which has recently been plaguing the entire world for more than two months now , most of us have not had the good fortune to hunt recently ( except for those who have access to private properties , where game can either be found , or frequently...

Major, Sir This was another fascinating story of yours . By God’s Grace , none of the 25 man eating leopards which I ever had to contend with , could ever get any closer to me than four meters .However, I was blessed to always be using either a .375 Holland & Holland Magnum or a 7 millimeter...
