Assam as shikar paradise

Note
Location India Subject Distribution Species Greater One-horned Rhino (unicornis)

Extract from Englishman. It is established that Assam is the only paradise of sportsmen. Thirteen rhinoceros, eighteen buffaloes, pig and large deer - here is a bag worthy of a Nimrod. A tiger our sportsman also met, and well peppered him, but considers it tame work, tiger-shooting, after a stand-to with a rhinoceros.
