Poton Bhai , fantastic story ! I remember my wife and l having dinner with Kawshik , Fabliha , Daniel and Daniel's parents in 2017 in Kawshik's house . Daniel's mother ( Jenna , right ? ) showed me a beautiful single trigger 28 bore side by side droplock shotgun ( also made by Westley...

Oh , my. Now , l am genuinely concerned . I purchased a Winchester M70 Safari Express chambered in .458 Winchester Magnum recently , and 200 cartridges of Hornady DGS and DGX ammunition. I was planning on using it to hunt a tuskless cow elephant in South Africa two years down the line . After...

mark- hunter , it is like you can read minds . I always dreamt of owning a .458 Winchester Magnum some day . However , l thought that it was a little too large for hunting Bangladeshi game . Eventually , l realized that many of my elder son's Australian friends use .458 Winchester Magnums for...

Wyatt Smith , why thank you ! I am currently using Hornady DGX 500 grain expanding cartridges and Hornady DGS 500 grain full metal jacket cartridges . When l begin handloading , l suppose that l will use either Hornady 500 grain bullets or Woodleigh 500 grain bullets. My preference lies with...

Poton bhai , my eyes were glued to the entire article the whole time ! What have you done to me ?! Nowadays , l cannot even pick up any article related to hunting other than yours . I cannot wait for " Man Eater : Descent Into Depravity " to be published . I am certain that everyone here shall...

Here is leopard #44 , which l had to follow up for three hours before facing it's charge and killing it .

After 1972 , l have shot a dozen man eating leopards irregularly , which have caused chaos in the villages around the Sundarban mangrove forests of Bangladesh . For this , l have always used a most extraordinary rifle purchased from the American state of Tennessee . It is a custom made .338...

A macchan can be erected for the shikaree to shoot from . This is basically an elevated wooden platform allowing the shikari a 360 degree view of everything on ground level. Good , old Major Khan was kind enough to provide me with this photograph of a macchan which he used for hunting a Royal...

Here is a man eating leopard killed in 1979 , by a single shot from a .338 Winchester Magnum 250 grain Remington Core Lokt soft nose bullet .

Here is a photograph kindly lent to me by my close friend and fellow forum member , Major Khan of one of those pathetic Indian Ordinance Factories .315 Bore sporting rifles.

Here is an associate of mine who had a man eating leopard pounce on him for only five seconds in 2017 near Khulna . The leopard in question was shot off him using a .338 Winchester Magnum 250 grain Remington Core Lokt soft nose bullet .

There will be another immediate tell tale sign of a leopard frequenting the area . Anyone who has pet cats will know that cats love to scratch things and many owners of cats will often get them scratch posts and things of that sort . A leopard , being of the same family of mammals as a cat ...

Poton Bhai , I bet that it will be a marvellous article ! My personal favorites would have to be : 1 - FN Mauser action ( pre 1970 with the bolt guide ) 2- BRNO ZKK 600 action 3- Granite Mountain Mauser action Since you asked only for three , l will leave it at that , otherwise l will also...

Ray B , thank you for bringing the Winchester Power Point bullet to my attention . Are these 300 grain bullets still in production ? The .338 Winchester Magnum is my favorite rifle calibre of all time.

Wyatt Smith , thank you for suggesting Swift A frames . I have just done a Google search for " Swift A frames " and the reviews look exceptional !

Poton , l cannot imagine how hard it must have been on you to actually have been there and seen it happen . I was downright scared when Amira and l received the news and visited Tobin in the hospital later . They had those tubes running out of his stomach and l still remember Tobin's screaming...

Kurpfalzjager , Sambhar Deer are the largest species of deer found in Bangladesh . You will typically only find them in the Southern part of country , like the Barishal division . In Chittagong , you will only find Barking Deer . The areas on the furthest corners of the Eastern side of...

mark-hunter, l can give you the most current rates this March , if it will be of help to you. In March , Kawshik , Poton , myself and many members of our friend circle will be going to hunt our first Chital Deer for this year. When we take permission from the DC of the police station , l will...

Kurpfalzjager , here is a good summary that l have prepared. I hope that you will find it helpful. Foreigners are allowed to bring two firearms ( as long as it is not a fully automatic weapon ) into the country of any calibre except a .303 British calibre ( this law has remained unchanged since...

Wade J VanGinkel , the pleasure would be mine. I could learn so much from all of you fine gentlemen , as well.

mark-hunter , it is my pleasure . The rifles may be declared on arrival.

Ryan80 , please. Just call me Kareem or Newaz. Modest gentlemen such as yourself often tend to underestimate your own courage. I am certain that in times of need , you would find yourself perfectly brave enough to do the deed. I myself was not brave at all. Just young and stupid ...and reckless.

Spike t , l envy you all in a healthy manner. Whenever , l want ammunition for my .338 Winchester Magnum , l either have to purchase them abroad and bring back 250 cartridges into Bangladesh on every trip , or l have to bring them into the country through a friend or family member who purchased...

mark-hunter , alright . Here is how it is : Foreigners are allowed to bring two firearms ( as long as it is not a fully automatic weapon ) into the country of any calibre except a .303 British calibre ( this law has remained unchanged since the time when India , Pakistan and Bangladesh were a...

Jumbo , l am relieved. Contact Kynamco . They keep .425 Westley Richards factory loaded cartridges using Woodleigh bullets.

Tra3 , thank you for liking it. I would sell most of the leopard skins . However , l also kept a few as decorations around the house . The employees of the Syedabaad Tea Estate always treated me with respect ever since l was a child as l lived there ( I was the nephew of the owner's wife , after...

mark-hunter , yes they can . However , not by themselves. They must be accompanied by local shikaris at all times .

One cannot do much better than a John Rigby . I would buy that lovely .303 if l were you . With traditional Woodleigh 174 grain bullets or 215 grain bullets , it would make a lovely Sambhar Deer rifle . New Rigby rifles are naturally fine items , but yours appears to be in really good condition.

Elk is similar in size to our Bangladesh Sambar Deer. I have had good results for the last thirty years with 250 grain Remington Core Lokt soft nose bullets for my .338 Winchester Magnum . For handloading , l prefer 250 grain Woodleigh soft nose bullets . Woodleigh also makes a 300 grain bullet...

I like the .338 Winchester Magnum myself . Mine is a custom made one built on an FN Mauser action , with a straight stock and a Douglas barrel. However , the only dangerous game l have shot with it are Asian Sloth Bears and leopards. My elder son , who some times hunts water buffalo in Australia...

That is a beautiful rifle . Is that a crack on the stock above the trigger guard ? An American family friend of ours used to come to the Syedabaad Tea Estate in the 1960s to shoot leopards with such a rifle . It was originally a .425 Westley Richards caliber Mauser action rifle , made by...

Die Jager , thank you for liking it.

cls, thank you for appreciating it.

Environ , l wrote an article in our local newspaper in 1985 . Perhaps , l can provide an English translation here one day ?

Ridgewalker , thank you for liking it. I am glad that you all found it educational.

Gesch , thank you for liking it. Leopards mostly populate the areas around the Sundarban and Bandarban mangrove forests in Bangladesh . However , it is illegal to kill any , unless if they are declared man eaters by the authorities of the area which the leopard is menacing.

mark - hunter I have only shot eighteen leopards in the day light . They were all by chance encounter.

Shootist43 , definitely. Kawshik's parents were family friends of Uncle Josh . They would often come to visit us in the Syedabaad Tea Estate and we would often go to visit their family home in Darjeeling. Darjeeling is infact quite near the Syedabaad Tea Estate . We would grill beef steaks in...

Shakka , thank you . I hope that you will enjoy the remainder of it.

mark-hunter Always remember this. If a leopard has eaten more than seven to eight people , it will begin to actually ignore other animals in favor of the flesh of man. However , if the leopard has eaten less than seven humans , then it will still be tempted by the flesh of other animals . I...
