Mehul, I suspect you misread me somewhat. I am simply generating a bit of interest in this thread, and giving an opposite view on some of the subjects. I have no intention of being confrontational, or offensive. That said, Mussoorie is 6,ooo ft above sea level, the valleys on average, apart from being heavily shrubbed, drop about 1,000 ft on their way down to the Doon valley. You cannot stalk or drive pheasant here. What you do is, you feed them into the area and then pick them off with a 22 rifle. It is not sport, just shooting for the pot. I hope you are wrong about Tiger being wiped out within 10 years. I would be grateful if it did not happen in my lifetime. If you visit Mussoorie, drop in on the Skinner family, they live at Sikander Hall, just outside the town. A forefather was responsible for the creation of Skinners Horse, a cavalry reg of the British army. Old man Skinner is a great hunter, and angler (Masheer). You would love some of his stories and pics. M. I still rekon nilgai shooting is like shooting donkeys, and yes, I used to post on AR as DJ, till I lost my password.
