... legendary big cat hunter and author Jim Corbett. Corbett was an Indian-born British conservationist who was extremely talented at stalking and killing man-eaters. These two animals are widely regarded as the most deadly of all time.
I highly recommend his book for those who haven't read it yet - Corbett comes across the decades as a sensitive, thinking man who respected the animals he hunted, often to put them out of their misery (he suspected painfully embedded porcupine quills drove them to their murderous rampages)
