I have only put up the snaps Baljit.Baljit wrote:Yes indeed XL, Prashant did wonderfull job for ivory56
All the hard work of getting those fantastic trophies goes to ivory56.
I remember asking Kanwar and Shooter to put up my snaps when I had initially joined IFG.
It is always a pleasure talking to Baljit.
Waiting for ivory56's report now.

Re: big five
Hi dear friends!
I want to put my views, they are mine so don't be offended !!
The Rajput maharaja Karni Singh was hunting with Brithish fellows. A tiger came from elephant grass, his fellow aimed, and while discharging, Karni Singh lifted the barrel up he missed!!!!! Strainge!! Thaught the guy.
Maharaja Said " Just this is how hunting is done"! Jumped from elephant, both tha worriors.... Both the kings charged each other. And Rajput king killed the king of jungle with one sword blow in two pieces!!!
This is called hunt!!!
A lion or tiger on feet, and a hunter far away on elephant with high power rifle are no match. I won't kill any big five in my life or any human till its danger to my loved ones. I think hunting for feeding is genuine reason but that too if really required. And if for glory go the Maharaja way.
In a dule glory is there only if both the contenders are equal.
My view!!!

Gursarvinder no offence ment…I can digest the fact that the Mahraja killed a Tiger on the ground with his Sword,brave soul no doubt…there was a episode on NGC some time ago of a Masai killing a Lion with his spear/machete. But, is it possible to slay the King of the Jungle with a single stroke of the sword into two.

Re: big five
It is possible to slice the person into two, provided that your stroke is powerful enough and the sword is also sharp enough, by striking at either one of the two places where there is only the vertebral column to slice through. It is neck or lumbar region. If you read historical accounts of battles fought with Indian type of curved tulwars, you will find mention of many such incidents.But, is it possible to slay the King of the Jungle with a single stroke of the sword into two.
