While a Bear tag costs only $25 the taxidermy cost may be as high as $10K. I am so glad the bear (for whatever it's size) is being put to good use.

Capt. Rakshit you must come over the next time you are in Doon. I have a whole lot of stories and have finally found a place to pen them down.....regardless of how many people read them....ha ha ha.
There was a post I read initially when I joined I.F.G.
It was on recoil and I can't find it now.
There is another interesting story which I must pen down on that post. People have been known to shoot with a .470 rifle in the height of excitement during a hunt and feel "nothing" as far as the recoil goes. Also seen some being thrown back with a much lesser bore while shooting a target. Probably it has something to do with the adrenaline levels in the body. Shall elaborate on it when I find that post.

Talking about Bears. There is this most ridiculous, but true, story I have heard which I must share. There was this new hunter who went out to shoot pheasants in the jungles. A Himalayan Black Bear (known for its short temper) was unfortunately closeby. Unaware , and seeing some movement in the bush the hunter walked straight upto him. The bear came out of the bush, stood up on his hind legs (like a human), knocked the gun from the hunters hand with one paw, slapped him on his face with the other, got back on all fours and vanished into the bush. Those witness to the event couldn't stop rolling with laughter.

I wish the bear had knocked his head off. that would have been nice for a change.

Now that the shoe has fallen, I'll wait for the other one to fall......

Dear hvj1, Though bears are more closely related to the dog family, in some ways they resemble humans. As legend has it.It was monkeys and bears, that were part of Lord Rama's army.

It was monkeys and bears, that were part of Lord Rama's army.

Lets start with 'monkeys' first.
It was actually 'vanarjaati'. If you read the descriptions of vaanrjaati, it was different from both langoors and rhesus monkeys just one example being long hair that is wavey and curly.

Numerous accounts for vaanarjaati exist throughout history but discounted as myth.
Some experts say yeti and vaanarjaati are the same as neanderthals.

The last eyewitness account of vaanarjaati is by a british officer during the british east india company times who was a governer for central province state of ******.

Written very clearly in his book and referred to as vaanarjaati.

But thats OTT im glad that bear is being put to good use.

Hey Shooter,
Tell us more about this Vaanarjati, specifcally more about the last encounter with them by the Brit. And I dont think its OT cause we are still discussing bears.

I have heard of the Vaanar sena and Reech (Bear) sena , but NOT of the Vanarjaati sena.
Though , what you are saying "shooters", is quite possible.
By the way....The Langur is also called the Hanuman Langur. An alpha male can actually take on a human. I have seen "tolees" of langurs and rhesus monkeys create havoc with not a man dare stop them.

Yes you are right.

Its called vaanar sena but jaati (species) was vaanar.
Also see the number times that Valmiki has used the word "tree-branch-dwelling-animals" esp when he first introduces Sugreev and hanumanji in ramayan. (kishkindha kand first chapter)

The name for langoor is hanuman langoor which is also a later nomenclature. Nowhere is hanumanji described with a black face and gray hair.

Well let alone a toli of langoors/bandars, men cant even face rats in swarms or marabuntsa or swarms of marching army ants but this doesnt necessarily mean they can be used to fight wars.

Kishkindha also corresponds to central provinces / deccan border. (i know a co-incidence but the same place the last sighting of vaanarjaati happened; and i am not even quoting the readers digest book the long walk in which the prisoners saw 'monkey men' in india)


I will write the full story about vaanarjaati esp for hvj1 soon i gotta rush now.

Gentlemen on this forum
Please be informed, this is one dentist who is never gonna yank out your incisors instead of your molars. The guy knows his oats and t'is a pity indeed that he practices in England. Well India's loss (teeth) is England's gain.

Well India's loss (teeth) is England's gain.

And the Brits send Naga in return.
