Re: Indian - Was the Cheetah really a wild animal in India?

The problem with regulated hunting in India is the fragmented nature of the forest areas. It is rare to find contiguous wide spread forests without any villages in the middle & so it is impossible to control the boundaries.

No harm dreaming.




Complete bullshit like the earlier comment about hunting boar being "difficult." Yes, it might be for some, I know many who enjoy the sport immensely, and whose skills are significantly better than those of a self confessed, inept night hunter.

In the South Indian Shola in the Palani Hills ranges are short and most boar are shot with shotguns loaded with ball when the rains start and they come to eat rotten fruit under the trees. There are similar hunts in Coorg and possibly in Maharashtra. In Punjab and Haryana where the terrain is more undulating but where farms tend to be much larger than the South dogs or beaters are used, mostly with rifles.

Congestion - a real problem in some parts - only means that the terrain is ideal for MLs or for rifled shotguns. If this could be done in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana there is no reason why it cannot be done in India. There have been studies performed by the Indian Forests and Fisheries Services on this subject that are posted at Indians For Guns and which I shall get permission to post here. Suffice it to say that the expertise of those who conducted those studies is vastly more respectable than that of a non entity with little to show.
