Re: A driven game hunt with a difference

In reply to:
in our first beat along the edge of the forest we picked up five peafowl, three red jungle fowl, ten black partridge, four grey partridge, two bush quail, and three hare. A good sambhar had been put up .....
collecting thirty more birds and a leopard
Fifty-four birds and four animals had been shot that morning - and many more missed
We had gone along the bank of the stream for about a mile, picking up five more peafowl, four cock florican - hens were barred - three snipe, and a hog deer with very good horns
What about a bag like this? numerous peafowl, jungle fowl, partridge, quail, florican, hare, hog deer and a leopard - plus a chance at a good sambar .......
And all from the top of an elephant and under the snowy Himalayas.
In reply to:
If you are ever given choice of position in a line of elephants on a mixed-game shoot select a flank, but only if you are good with both gun and rifle. Game put up by a line of elephants invariably try to break out at a flank, and one of the most difficult objects to hit is a bird or an animal that has been missed by others.
I will memorise that - just in case ... . Oh for the good old days ......
