Got some old "Shikaar" tales to share? Found a great new spot to Fish? Any interesting camping experiences? Discussion of Back-packing, Bicycling, Boating, National Parks, Wildlife, Outdoor Cooking & Recipes etc.

The true hunt

Post by xl_target » Sun Nov 15, 2009 12:11 pm

To balance the other hunting video, I offer this one below.

Here is man, the hunter, hunting so his family might survive.
I do not have the strength or stamina to hunt that way and I admire this man, who can.

This video (or as imilar one) has been posted in the past in ifg.
This is admirable indeed.

I have met a man in India who used to run down hares (no deer in his village). According to him the poor people without guns used this method to hunt.

He also said it is best in midday esp during the summer (just like tis video) when it is the hottest and it is easy to exhaust the animal. when the animal is too exhausted to move, they just grab it and break its neck.

These tribals are hunting the Kudu which is amongst the most beautiful African antelopes.

Many hunters feel that the Kill should be brought down with minimal pain. They also believe that the meat of an animal which has taken time before being killed is not as delicious.On questioning an old shikari why it was so he explained that an animal not brought down cleany tries to escape the hunter by using evey bit of energy.It also releases excess adrenaline to escape. The fatigue and tiredness cauese lactic acid secreation in the muscles of the animal thereby altering the taste. I wonder if it is true.
