Smitha Tiger a Leopard a Bear and antlered game Are a lot to crowd into one Short Hunting trip but Percy Dinshaw my Shikari was shaking his head and chuckling lightly As we look Dover the sloth Bear that had just finished up my Hunting trip in India this Spring. I normally try to get As much Hunting into my trips As is pos sible. Here at Diyarbakir air station Turkey work is seven Days a week at the space track radar site and it is a Long time betwee Hunting trips. The end of one of these Long spells found me at Camp Sunder Deo a Forest rest House in Adhya Pravesh about 350 Miles Northeast of the top of my list was a Tiger and Percy and his Crew had been in Camp a week before my arrival looking Over the shooting Block and staking out baits in the nates the dry Creek Beds that the cats use As highways in their rounds through the first three Days in Camp were spent showing me the 85 Square Miles that was to be the shooting Block reserved f6r my Hunting sighting in rifles collecting a couple of the Small Barking Deer and four horned Antelope for the pot and gunning the multitudes of Dove Quail Pigeon Jungle fowl and grouse that flew by the Back the third morning one of the bait boys reported that a water Buffalo had been taken and after checking Aziz Percy s to tracker surmised that it was a Large male Tiger and that he Felt very Lucky i should get were in the Machan or shooting platform by late afternoon and ready for old or. Stripes. Before we had set out from Camp on the Way to the Blind Percy had made a bet that we would have stripes before 9 o clock. Aziz was to be in the Blind with me As he was feeling Lucky and Percy had a slight cough which would have been disastrous in the quiet of the night. I Lay on my Back in the Blind and watched through the Treetop Sas a satellite made its Easterly journey across the sky. I had just checked my watch and it had said 8 20 when azi tapped me on the leg and started me into shooting position. Some How in the Moonlight he had seen the Tiger walking out of a draw about 100 Yards away. It was truly an exciting scene As he walked through the Moonlight to what was left of the bait. When the Light went on he just looked up from the bait and the Post of the scope was right on his shoulder. When the .375 went off it looked for All the world like a huge cat fight As he went Overon his Back feet clawing the air and then when he started to get his feet under himself he started for the Machan. Aziz then turned the Light off As Percy h and said earlier that in a Case like this they often charge the Light if they associate it with their pain. After what seemed an eternity of listening to the cat thrashing around in the dark things got quiet and we started looking around. There he was lying in the Moonlight about 20 Yards in front of the Blind. Aziz insisted i slip in an insurance round before rechecked to see How big he was. Back in Camp after much handshaking and congratulating an picture taking we found he was a full grown male of about 450-500 pounds and that he measured 9 feet nose to Tail Between pegs. A week later to the Day we were sitting up in the same Blind Over a bait that had been taken when late in the afternoon a Large Leopard ghosted Down the draw in Broad Daylight and was on the bait before we realized he was there. One shot from the .375 and i had my Leopard skin Rug a very Large male that went 7 feet3 inches Between the pegs. The rest of the two weeks was spent filling my License for wild oar four horned Antelope chiral or Axis Deer and Blue Bull finally ending with the sloth Bear that i got just before we left Little information about Hunting in India. While it is expensive it is no More so than a similar time spent in Africa or Alaska about $1,800 each for a party of two with a guarantee of a shot at at least one of the cats for 15 Days of Hunting.
