There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Bert Klineburger (India)

India, with its huge numbers of species, has been hunted by its maharajas, the occupying British and some foreigners for several hundred years. After WWII it was about the only country in Asia with a hunting program. The famous Jim Corbett, killer of man-eating tigers and leopards and whose books are still popular today, did his hunting there before the war, but not long after the end of the war, foreign hunters arrived to go on shikar, the Klineburgers among them. Although tigers seldom came easy, there were lots of them over much of India, especially the central state of Madhya Pradesh, and we took many, along with leopard, gaur, sambar, muntjac, four-horned and axis deer, wild dogs and other game. The great hunting days of India came to a close in about 1972. My brothers Chris, Gene and I are among the few living hunters to have taken a tigers. All our efforts over the years to get hunting reopened have failed.–Bert Klineburger

India, with its may interesting species of game had hunting for over a hundred years. Bert took this tiger just before hunting closed in 1972.
