NitroX,

These comments are sad and the writer is just disregarding historical facts to further a personal agenda. The comment about the three ghorals taken by Corbett, I'm sure, refers to a part of the tale of the "Champawat Maneater". Corbett, as I recall, was trying to win the confidence of the local villagers, who were terrified by the tiger......Corbett told them he would shoot them some meat if some of the villagers would accompany him; basically to show him the lay of the land.........as I recall, he shot two ghoral for the villagers and one for his men. Comments downing famous hunters, as well as hunters in general, seems to be the rule rather than the exception now-a-days. On a lighter note John, if you haven't already., try to find a copy of "Trysts with Tigers" by Sher Jung. Published in New Dehli, it's a pretty good read.
