It was a bit tricky of course as I did post the photo in the South Pacific/Aust hunting forum.

Just a photo for the sambar enthusiasts (fanatics).

Sambar are definitely not extinct in India, though I don't know their numbers. But as a guide we were told there were about 25,000 or 30,000 chital deer in Kanha National Park. Sambar would be a lot lesser in number. And if you add up how many beasts a tiger needs in a year and if there are up to 350 tigers in the park (per their censuses), they would be eating the natural increase. Plus preying on the gaur, barasingha, nilgai, sambar, pigs etc. Helped also by the resident leopard population.

Saw a ripper of a good sambar stag but he was off too quickly to get a photo off. Could have shot him though

.

Talking about leopards we were told they found leopard tracks right next to our hotel / resort one of the mornings were stayed there. Another good reason to carry a torch when heading off to our tents.
