Book Description
Excerpt from Indian Sporting Birds India is a remarkable country in many ways, and not the least so in that, in spite of a civilization of immemorial antiquity, there remains in our Eastern dominions such a rich profusion and variety of wild life, even the large quadrupeds, so soon exterminated by civilized man, persisting in considerable numbers. This wealth of mammalian life naturally attracts the attention of sportsmen, to the exclusion, to some extent, of bird-shooting;yet the opportunities for the latter sport are just as excellent, and no country can show such an immense variety of sporting birds as India and our other Eastern provinces, while the individual abundance of the species is remarkable, when we consider that there is no such systematic war made upon their natural enemies as is the case in Europe; in fact, the "vermin," furred and feathered, work their will practically unchecked, and to them we must add a horde of reptilian villains, snakes, crocodiles, and carnivorous water-tortoises and lizards. The native also poaches light-heartedly everywhere, though it must be admitted that here he is only "getting his own back," as the feathered game is so numerous, and so little indented upon by a population largely vegetarian, that the comparative harmlessness of humanity to the feathered world is ungratefully repaid by considerable devastation of the crops in many districts. The worst offenders in this way are geese and cranes, but ducks do a good deal of harm to the paddy, so that in shooting wild-fowl one is often doing actual good to the cultivator, as well as getting amusement and food; moreover, the majority of our wild-fowl being migrants from the northern regions where they breed, the stock is capable of being drawn on to a very large extent.
