Different times, different standards ...

But some of these maharajah sorts were unsporting tally score shooter types. Shooting anything and everything.

Let's not romanticism them. Stories of Corbett are one thing. Hunting Maneaters on foot in the jungle, alone in a machan or tree.

Many of these rajah sorts sat in towers well above danger. While hundreds of beaters drove animals past their towers. I don't mean machans, I mean elaborate towers. I have paintings of it. They were way to cowardly to ever hunt on foot.

One rajah is reported as shooting 90 tigers in a single day.

Just like shooting tamish pen bred canned lions is legal but held in contempt, not a lot different for some back then.

Reading between the ones of Corbett one can pick this up.
