I believe they operated around the same time. Give or take . Anderson hunted in the South of India exclusively & Corbett was in the North. Darjeeling, Nainital, kumaun district. Both spoke the language of the locals fluently.
To everyone who enjoyed this book I highly recommend "Hunter" by J. A. Hunter of the Shaw & Hunter Trophy fame. To my mind he was the greatest of the African White Hunters. He also shared Corbett's interest in the preservation of habitat for game animals.
J.A. Hunter was good but I believe Alan Black was the best as admitted by Hunter himself. Many other white hunters said Black was the best that ever lived. But no doubt J. A. was one of the greatest hunters in history
"Video killed the radio star." as 'they' sang. For me, nothing compares to a well told narration, or a really great book. Glad I'm old enough to have read intensively, and spent so many hours listening to great radio stories and plays, since the very early 1960's.
This is the type of storytelling I love the teachers at school tried to find just to try to get me to read thank you for puting these on UA-cam please put more on .
V r proud of jim corbett ,such a nice human being and the greatest hunter up to dated v have heard .I have visited the very spot where the tigress was short dead but abit confused whether it is the same place or not.So I went to chuka second time but failed.Again Im planning to move and interect with the person whose elder brother had seen and witnessed this incident.Im great admirer of Jim
1:24:05. He says he had an attack of AGU. I had to look it up so I thought I would share. Aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) is an inherited disease that is characterized by a decline in mental functioning, accompanied by an increase in skin, bone and joint issues. The disease is caused by a defect in an enzyme known as aspartylglucosaminidase.
Thank you, strangely more enjoyable with the background noise of what I imagine is a middle aged man sorting out aluminum arrows into plastic tubes in a shed somewhere. Love it all.
The most interesting thing I was thinking for last I think 30-40 years, since I read this story of Thak Man-eater for the first time, I am indulged in an immense feelings of horror and mystery where Corbett states about the elongated and feeble but clear crying from the deserted village of Thak, which he described as a weak imitation of the crying of a previous prey by the same man-eater, the village Chief's mother as I could remember before few days! Corbett clearly stated that the crying he heard was real as the 'Kakars' stopped barking and the Sambars ran with the scream! What was that? In the deserted Himalayan Forest village where nature was predominant than anything?
Shamimul, I always thought the screams were of a thief who had snuck into the village to steal valuables, and who was caught by the tiger that was lurking there.
@@RohitSk-xo7eu how do you know this? Explain yourself. Corbett wrote that it was clearly the cry of a dying person. The village was deserted because the Thak maneater had killed so many people there that everyone else alive ran away.
That famous rifle was sold at James D. Julia in 2015. I think it went for around $230,000. It came out of Elmer Keith's collection. Not sure who got it.
Can you do some of Kenneth Anderson of any books on the subject of maneating big cats or just maneating animals in general if you could do that I'd be very very happy thanks lee😊
Very nicely done... Can you please do other Corbett Stories too. The sound is perfectly suitable for the story and creates an atmosphere that we are living at those times.
In those days people had a very different manual of arms. Firearms weren’t at safe as they are today. For example - you wouldn’t load a six shot revolver with six, because it would fire when dropped.
@@Tremulousnut Not with the hammer un-cocked totally safe, hammer-less guns un-safe hammer allways cocked and will discharge when dropped even with safety on ...
Perhaps a Yeti, heard the man dying, then imitated him the night Corbett was there... I am not spoofing. They Do imitate calls in many stories of encounters.
@@gay_hatr5172 Not true, but a popular sentiment. If you are interested in studying the Yeti, as well as other currently reported, but not acknowledged anthropoids, you should read “Abominable Snowmen, Legend come to life.” They, meaning manlike creatures of the wild, have quite remarkable adaptability, and have literally thousands of sightings describing various colors, heights and weights, under a multitude of different names, not just “Yeti” (though that is the common name in India and Nepal). They have been reported for thousands of years from the savage Mapinguary of Brazil, to the Almas of Russia. -And yes- they Do mimic people and animals at times. The previously mentioned book, was a study written by Ivan Sanderson, who was widely regarded as one of the world’s leading experts in primatology. One of his books: “The Monkey Kingdom” was a scholastic textbook for many years. Very enjoyable writer, and full of startling things.
He foresaw, more clearly than most others of that time, the terrible depletion of this region through hunting for ‘fun,’ wanton killing, destruction of the environment and encroachment. Hardly anything of his time is left of its fauna
Narrator has an excellent speaking voice. Good thing he doesn't get any closer to his mic. Wouldn't want you to choke on it.....I disagree with other comments. To close to mic, even at low volume sounds like he's trying to stick his tongue in my ear.
Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson were fearless and the best tiger hunters that ever lived ! I think Jim was 63 yrs. old at the time
I believe they operated around the same time. Give or take . Anderson hunted in the South of India exclusively & Corbett was in the North. Darjeeling, Nainital, kumaun district. Both spoke the language of the locals fluently.
Absolute marvellous narration... I love Jim Corbett stories.... Can we have more of these narrations?

God now you got me hooked on these audios
One of my childhood favorite books! Still awesome.
Love these old stories thanks more of you could would be spectacular
Thank you very much Sir for this audio version, could you please do the same for MANEATING LEOPARD OF RUDRAPRAYAG.
Kenneth Anderson is one of my favs
Just love it!

Thank you please keep them coming!!!
herby375 I didn’t know there was a person exactly like me !
Yes.. i too hear it on night... one day upto 2 AM
Me too!
Me too.
This is the type of storytelling I love the teachers at school tried to find just to try to get me to read thank you for puting these on UA-cam please put more on .
Anyone who likes stories if man-eaters should check out Bob Gymlan's tell the tale of the lions of Tsavo. It's my favorite telling of that tale.

Dada please remember that that night none died because of tiger attack at that village or its surroundings.

I like these Jim Corbett stories as they’re fascinating!
I love jim corbett very much.
I have a copy of Man-eaters of Kumaon. Excellent book. Fascinating glimpse into a long gone world.
That famous rifle was sold at James D. Julia in 2015. I think it went for around $230,000. It came out of Elmer Keith's collection. Not sure who got it.
There's a video on it somewhere on UA-cam- the gentlemen who bought it immediately turned around and brought it back to Africa for a hunting trip.
Same guy who has Selous'rifle and Fletcher Jamison .500 Jeffery and Hemingway's .577 NE Westley Richards double rifle,she is in a very good home.
Herby, I listen to it every night also. Get the audio book of "The Tiger" by John Vaillant
great fan of Jim Corbett p.s.i was born 150 years to late.
barry howson me tooBarry.
@@winnguyen443 me too ...m from India living 250 km from corbette winter home in kaladhungi ....I am his fan
Harpal Singh Shergill I hope to travel there someday and see some of the places Jim lived and hunted maneaters.
@@winnguyen443 you are most welcome ...pls send me a message and I will accompany you to places where Jim lived and hunted ....you are most welcome

Do you know where I can get the full audiobook?
Thanks a ton for this. Had been looking forever for one of Corbett’s stories in audio form. Anyone know if there are more like this?
You tube has a series of them. Put in 'Man eaters' or 'Jim Corbett'
Setting on ropes 10 12 hours. Never walk again. He did this hundreds of times.
Great great great!!!
It’s years since I read the book brilliant
I can’t believe this woman’s son didn’t even try to help his mother against the tiger!
Very nicely done... Can you please do other Corbett Stories too.

Wonderful reading. Would it be possible to read more tiger hunting stories of Jim Corbett?
Try Safari Press. They offer a beautiful set of Corbett's books. **** Don't buy until August because that's when they have they're yearly sale.
He had to LOAD THE OTHER RIFLE to signal the valley?!?!?
HOW was that second rifle not loaded and ready?!
Amazing story.
Because he didn't want to get shot in the back.

plz make video on jim corbett I like it so much
Suman Dutta we have made videos inspired by him you can see them 😊
Beautiful reading.
Thank you Mr. Hills.
Not the mother, but a man cried three times while the man-eater killed him! Corbett ensured with proof that he heard that screams and mortal agony!
Perhaps a Yeti, heard the man dying, then imitated him the night Corbett was there...

Why is someone sharpening a bayonet in the background?
It's the wife clearing the tea things.
Brilliant. Thank you.

Please make in animation
Fantastic. Thank you
Thank you 4 posting
I wonder what the call he used sounded like to call her in ????
A tiger call... since she was in heat.. she assumed that it was a male Tiger answering her call.
Thanks to you for sharing.
