So I'm sitting on the couch trying to get over the flu of all things. Bored to tears, and I was reading about the exploits of Sir Jim Corbett. I went back and watched the Rigby video detailing the making of the tribute rifle. Of interest, I came across this BBC video about the Maneating Leopard of Rudrapryag. It is long, approximately 50 minutes but if your sick and looking for something to watch, this is pretty good albeit somewhat dramatized. My apologies if it's already been posted on here before…

It's still surreal this really happened, as well as all of the other serial man-eating incidents, but they still go on even today…

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
