Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER I. ON SPORT GENERALLY AND FISHING IN PARTICULAR. QUT of all the young men who come to India for the first time how many bring out a rod? Almost all bring out guns or rifles with keen ideas of the sport to be their's when first they get leave, but for every twenty that bring out a gun, perhaps only one brings out a rod. And yet many of these men were keen enough fishermen at home. With some, it is the idea that having tasted the joys of salmon or trout fishing at home, there can be nothing here worthy of their skill. With others it is mere ignorance. No one has told them of the fine fish to be caught, while many have told them varied and exciting tales of tigers, bison and deer, and of the joys of pig-sticking. Personally I have been lucky enough to have had experience of most of the above sports, and--well comparisons are odious. There is a wild joy in being on a good horse, with a game old boar in front, and one lives a lifetime during that stern chase, and then that glorious moment when after many jinks and escapes, yours, the first spear goes well home, in a foe who is truly worthy of your steel. Then again is the moment of pure and holy joy that steals over one, when after following the tracks of a bison through dense jungle for the better part of the day, suddenly the old solitary bull appears before one, head in air sniffing the breeze and suspicious of danger, but not knowing where to look for it. Then your rifle rings out, he falls, rises again, and once more goes down to your second barrel, and a minute after you are admiring the massive frame, and splendid proportions, of perhaps the finest animal India has to offer in the way of "big game." But there is a joy of another sort, not to be beaten in pleasure and excitement...
