There's hardly one picture available of Hairyfoot and you think he's the largest?


 

No, I don't base my opinion on some silly images nor I came to a conclusion like Hairy was the largest CI male just coz of some popular opinion (like we have one on Waghdoh, big tigeer no doubt, but largest CI male??? gimme a break [img]images/smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img])

Now on Hairyfoot lemme give you a rationale, but first lemme make myself clear, I don't wanna be drawn into a war of words  that will further derail the thread, this would be my last post in this thread.
In the Dr.Chundawat documentary we see Madla many times, but the only time which I feel gives us a better opportunity to judge his size is from the time frame of that video I've given in my last post, when Madla walks out of the bushes & on to the road. With a lil experience anyone could make out how big the tiger Madla was, even if Dr.Chundawat had not weighed him. Now in that doc. no where Dr.Chundawat talks about weighing or measuring Hairyfoot, but yet he called him the "badawala nar", from this it is quite obvious that Chundawat found HF outsizing Madla, mebbe Hairyfoot was taller or longer or more massively built, whatever the reason but Chundawat found him to be bigger than Madla, now how many tigers would outsize a tiger as big as Madla? NONE (barring NE tigers) in my opinion. 

a few more of my onbservations:
Madla & Konda were similar sized tigers.
The only tigers from Bandhavgarh that are of impressive size are Bamera & Jobhi & to some extent Bokha.
B2 & Charger were higly overrated, nothing impressive about them sorry. 
Munna from Kanha has a very big skull, size wise in his prime he was larger than prime B2, that's it.
Katezari & (prime) Bamera are similarly sized tigers. 
Waghdoh big but definitely not the largest in CI.

don't blindly believe opinions on facebook & INW, many of those guys who go gaga over waghdoh's size i've notcied from their names (yeah in India by name we can figure out from where you hail from[img]images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]) share their homestate with Waghdoh so there's bias involved here. I've heard from some guys from Rajasthan that how tigers from Ranthambore are absolute monsters & what not. [img]images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I've been to tiger reserves & national parks (since late 80s) & happen to know some people who frequent these places but that doesn't mean whatever I've stated here should be treated as gospel.
