Absolutely magnificent account , Anayeth . I truly miss Vivuti . I know that he passed away in 1980 ... But would you happen to remember how the noble Garo tracker had passed on to the happy hunting grounds ?

Why , thank you so much for your kind words ... Fastrig .

Nosler Partition soft point cartridges or Hornady DGX soft point cartridges , Anayeth ?

You are simply full of surprises , Anayeth . @WAB , @Roller and I were specifically talking about this very brute with you ... On another thread . I never imagined that you were actually planning to post that very reminiscence TODAY . That royal Bengal tiger is far larger than some of the...

I 2nd Anayeth's view , deewayne . If you wish to shoot a man eating forest panther in the same fashion ... Then , please do not hesitate to get in touch with me !

Knowing Anayeth , Master Smith ... If he could do it all over again , then he would use his .458 Winchester magnum caliber rifle now . Far more ideal for laying low those brutes .

Yes , Mr . Jerome .

Let it be , Dragan . As long as educated people like you can read between the lines ... I am content .

What kind of work does the employee of a shikar outfitting company do ? I know each and every member of Allwyn Cooper Limited including Rao Naidu , Suresh Thakur , Tobin Stakkatz , Francis Diaz and Ajay Kumar Reddy . I know every rifle they used . Every favorite game animal of theirs . I know...

The only real bigot I see here ... Is you . I never talked about all Hindus . I spoke about Radical Hinduism and their vegan beliefs . But you want to label every Muslim as evil and depraved . That tells the members of this forum more about you than it does about me . This is some thing that...

Let us get this straight . The Indira Gandhi Regime did not like hunting , because the cabinet was filled with a particular branch of Hindus ... WHO believe that killing animals is immoral . Radical Hinduism 100 % had a part to play with why hunting was banned in India . And I do not mean...

Wow , you want to be direct in your nonsense . Firstly , no body is talking about Islam here . How nice of you to be so Islamophobic . You are the one who brought it up , over here . Not me . Allwyn Cooper Limited was owned by the late Vidya C Shukla . It's lead professional shikaree was Rao...

Oh my . Getting called a " Religious Bigot " for telling the truth about why hunting was actually banned in India . And that too ... By some body who clearly has no idea about what actually happened . Any body who knows me on this forum long enough ( which is almost every body ) ... Will...

Those " Poaching Violations " were all fabrications made by anti hunters to get our sport banned ... Just like PETA is trying to do with African Safari operators today . Everytime we hunt , they claim that the hunt was done " Illegally " . We were India's most renowned shikar outfitters and I...

Anayeth is 100 % right . I am an Indian and I used to work for Allwyn Cooper Limited ... Which used to be India's largest shikar outfitters until the Indira Gandhi Regime banned all forms of hunting in 1972 . Vidya C Shukla used to be my employer . I was a professional shikaree based in...

It is a bit intriguing that the " Copper Clad Steel Jacket " description on the solid metal covered bullets ... Is no longer there .

Your memory is as razor sharp as my Buck Model 110 lockback folding knife , Master Smith .

Very well written , Anayeth . I would really like to go after these brutes with a .505 Gibbs caliber rifle and 600 grain solid metal covered cartridges ... Some day .

How many Eley Alphamax LG cartridges do you have remaining , Anayeth ? They are worth their weight in gold now , ever since Eley ceased production of any cartridges ... Which are loaded with a shot size larger than BB .

Probably the bespoke rifle makers at Flaig's , themselves .

You make me want to cry , Anayeth. My entire life and career as a professional shikaree , I have always hated the vile .458 Winchester magnum . But you ... You found a method to solve the shelf life problem . By using SILICA GEL ... Of all things !!!

If anything ... I blame the ineptness of those doddering imbeciles at the forest department , Bruce . These people used to possess very little idea about wild life , despite specifically being assigned to work IN A FOREST . I met 1 coarse fool , a few years ago ... Who could not tell the...

Of all the man eating forest panthers which I have shot in the last 55 years , RMC ... Around 35 % of them had porcupine quills embedded in some of their sensitive regions ( Such as as an eye , under the jaw or even the stomach ) . Porcupine quills have a tendency to drive these brutes insane...

After you expend all of them , bring me the empty cartridge cases ! They shall be ideal as hulls for my hand loaded spherical ball cartridges . One can never have too many " High Brass " 12 Bore cartridge cases .

Anayeth , this is absolutely brilliantly written ... As always , my young friend . Out of all of us , you have had the most successful track record in using buckshot to lay low forest panthers . Out of curiosity , how many of these old Eley Alphamax LG cartridges do you still have in stock ? I...

You are most fortunate , Anayeth . I have always dreamt of shooting a bull elephant . I have always wondered why your book did not mention Speer Grand Slam Solid tungsten cored solid metal covered bullets . They were rather popular during the 1990s . Tungsten , being more dense than lead ...

My Dear Russ , it is my utmost privilege that you have dedicated an entire shikar report to me . And my my ! What a magnificent shikar report it is ! Even though my close friends in Bangladesh ( @Captain Nwz and @Professor Mawla ) have always been singing praises about the .458 Winchester...

This was beautifully written , Anayet . I said it in 1976 and I shall say it again now . You are NOT to blame for what happened to Hiram . You were under the impression that you had to contend with a panther ! If any body is to blame , then it is those loathsome forest department officers ...

You certainly do not waste any time . Do you , Anayet ? Well done !

Well ... It successfully laid low a brutish rogue bull elephant and a man eating royal Bengal tiger , RMC . I suppose that I would be unjustified in complaining about the .458 Winchester magnum caliber to our young professor .

Well , this is rude . You did not even tell me before joining ! Welcome to the greatest internet site for the international hunting community , young man . I know that you shall feel right at home .

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this . It is far more appreciable to be over gunned , rather than under gunned . Countless of my clients have successfully used .458 Winchester magnum caliber rifles and ( FRESH ) 510 grain factory loaded soft point cartridges ( Manufactured by Remington...

Sir , it does not work. The Indian government released this statistic , in order to prevent the locals from killing man eating royal Bengal tigers in self defense . A royal Bengal tiger will always attack it's quarry from the side . This method saw limited success on the village panthers which...

You have exceptionally refined taste , Bob ! It is truly heart warming to see that Douglas Barrels are still popular among international sports men . They used to be extremely popular among American bespoke rifle makers ... During our time .

Why thank you so much for your kind words , Bob . I have not heard from you in a while , my friend . How have you been ? I was away on 2 shikar trips , recently .

Being the only living person on African Hunting Forums , who has actually experienced a complete hunting ban in his country ... I would strongly encourage all of my dear fellow forum members to give this a read ...

Perhaps I may be able to offer you some insight on this matter , Nhoro . For the sake of comparison , I am going to compare our Indian Gaur bison with your African Cape Buffalo . Even though they are different creatures , I do believe that the principles are similar . You see , the 300 grain...

.243 Winchester would make for an excellent choice on these petite creatures , I believe .

This morning ... I had the good fortune to go on a magnificent duck shikar with my good friend and fellow forum member , @Panther Shooter in the North . As usual , I brought along my “ Old Belgian “ and 2 boxes of cartridges: > Winchester Australia 12 Bore 2.75 inch 32 gram AAA cartridges (...

I did use a standard issue .303 British caliber Lee Enfield quite a bit ... During our 1971 Liberation War , Bob . Aside from using it against 2 legged quarry ... I also used it to secure countless Chital Deer and Bengal Bush Boars to supplement camp rations , while I was stationed in the...

Both are magnificent rifles , Rick . I simply happen to have an extremely sentimental memory of a most mind blowing shikar ... Where my client used a sporterized Enfield Model 1917 and 220 grain Winchester Silver Tip soft point cartridges to accomplish all this :

My Dear Bob , I am afraid that the .303 British caliber was a “ Prohibited Bore “ in India ( And also Pakistan and Bangladesh ) ever since the British colonial era . Even after India gained her independence in 1947 ... No body bothered to amend this draconian law .

Too many favorites to count . During my career as a professional shikaree ... I had clients bring the following military surplus rifles to India , for shikar : > 7x57 mm Mauser caliber Spanish Mauser rifles > 8x57 mm Mauser caliber Karabiner Model 98 K rifles > .30-06 Springfield Model 1903...

That is correct . They are called the “ Indian Ordinance Factories .315 Bore sporting Rifle “ and their quality is beastly ... Just like every thing else made by Indians .

I apologize sincerely for the late response , @WebleyGreene455 , @mark-hunter and @Malambo . I am making preparations for an upcoming Chital Deer shikar . Let us now delve in to this topic. , in detail . To start with . I would suggest all of you to take the words of Lakhawat Rawat Singh...

Have you considered 175 grain Woodleigh soft point bullets ? They are excellent , in terms of quality .
