Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bullet and Shot in Indian Forest, Plain and Hill: With Hints to Beginners in Indian Shooting
Not only must the sportsman in pursuit of large game learn infinite patience during frequent periods of unrequited toil, but he must, in order to be really successful, often exercise much self-denial, more particularly when hill-shooting, or when work ing localities wherein the scarcity of means of transport circumscribes the amount of necessaries which can be taken with him. He must, moreover, be temperate in all things, if he is to attain the physical condition which alone will enable him to support severe exertion - Often in great heat - under circumstances diametrically Opposed to those of his usual life in his headquarters.
Then again, the sportsman who is in pursuit of dangerous game must learn to keep cool in moments of peril, and to strive to do always the right thing at the right moment, often with no time for deliberation.
