Corbett was a true naturalist , great hunter and an exceptional writer . He could take his readers to the deep forest where the man eaters were lurking. We could experience the chirping of birds, roar of tigers through his wonderful writing skill.

I moved to live with my family in Bangkok, 29 March 2018. I was very restricted on how much I could take with me - one suitcase weighing no more than twenty some Kg. I only had space for 3 books, A man called Mike (the story of Mike Hailwood), Man Eaters of Kumaon & The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag. Finding books to read in English is not easy in Bangkok. In the 18 months that I have been here I have read A man called Mike once, The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag twice plus once on the flight here and Man Eaters of Kumaon 3 times and I am reading it again for the fourth time at the moment. I have read them all before - Man Eaters of Kumaon was bought for me by my mother at a jumble sale in the 1970’s, I can’t remember how many times that I have read it but it is many times and never loses a thing because it is so well written and a welcome break from learning the Thai language.

I may be a spoil sport here but I have just finished reading The Man-eaters of Kumaon probably for nth time and I can safely say so for the The Man-eating leopard of Rudraprayag. Both tigers I believe as Jim Corbett has himself said were killed with his .450/400 DB. Of course the Chowgarh tigress was definitely killed with the famous .275 Rigby. Correct me if I am wrong. And if I am not the he must be turning in his grace each time someone play this video.

There has never been a hunter like Jim Corbett. He killed well over 30 maneating tigers and 2 maneater leopards. These animals were super dangerous and smart. He showed great respect to the natives and was the SUPERMAN of the jungle !
@johnndavis76478 ай бұрын
Jim Corbett had already killed many maneaters when he was given this rifle in appreciation for his efforts. They show a double rifle and a bolt action rifle in the traveling display in India. Being from a British officers family he probably used a sporterized 303 Enfield rifle for his bolt action rifle. The British had peculiar ways of describing their calibers. The .275 caliber was basically a 7mm. Was it 7x57? or a 303 case necked down to 7mm? A look through Cartridges of the World might shed some light on the subject. The 7x57 was very popular for all kinds of hunting. Karamojo Bell killed more than 50 elephants with a 7x57 rifle firing full metal jacket military surplus ammo. Those men were great shots with nerves of steel.
@MrPh303 ай бұрын
.275 was and is a 7x57 cut for lighter bullets 140 grain chamber . But some used it with different chamber for the standard 7x57 160 or best 173 grain bullet . The 173 was the one Bell used for many of his elephants , due to ammo worked and bullet did not misbehave . But more of it , he used German surplus military ammo and those bullets and case was much better than others similar he came across .

GOLDEN MOOON Byrandahalli : Good that you mention Keenneth Anderson also since, he is a lot less known by the general public yet also wrote incredible, extremely well told stories of his dealing with man eater cats in India. Jim Corbett operated in Northern India while Kenneth Anderson was in the south. I think that, overall, Jim Corbett is more known due to his military background and connections with British government officials in India at the time while Kenneth Anderson, although also from British descent, was more the average, common guy who, as you could sense in his books, had a little of despise for governmental rules and regulations Also, many of Anderson's stories, I have read somewhere else that had not been documented therefore had been placed in that border between reality and just pure fiction.

In all, he shot twelve man-eating tigers and leopards and these had accounted for at least 1,500 deaths among the villagers of Kumaon. There is no guessing how many more would have died but for him. He was pressured by newspapers, the public and the authorities to rid them of those man-eaters. He wasn’t paid to lay his life on the line, his main reason was to remove the menace from the people of Kumaon who he regarded as his friends. “Jim Corbett said that a tiger that had turned man-eater had broken no law of the jungle only the law made by man.” If you think that he made the tiger extinct then you are sadly misinformed. The tiger is NOT extinct.
