The Champawat Man-eater by Jim Corbett. An audio reading of the story from The Man-eaters of Kumaon
vijay Raol
The Champawat Man-eater, the tigress who is arguably the most prolific of man-eaters ever known, with a record of over 430 human victims, was finally tracked down by a young Jim Corbett. This reading is in honor of Mr. Corbett's amazing ability to provide great shikar stories, while creating a sense of empathy and respect for all animals. This story is read by Dr. Vijay Raol. While I welcome your feedback, please be respectful with your comments. If you enjoyed this reading, please let me know. I hope to read some more of Corbett's amazing stories.

Hello NitroX,
I have the "Under Wild Skies recording from 2017. That story inspired me to buy my .275 Rigby take-down. A Rigby Factory Letter documents it was made for "Sir Thomas Peel Dunhill" - Surgeon to Queen.
