Although the tiger seems to be second choice with sportsmen in this country there is no great sport in killing them, claims Mr. Moody. The procedure is simple and consists of killing a deer which is firmly affixed with rattan and vines to 'a heavy Object. A few yards away a blind or shooting box is erected in a tree ard after decomposition thoroughly sets in in the bait the hunter takes up his lonely vigil on his platform waiting for the tiger to come and Gevour the carcass.
Mr. Moody had another very interesting experience. On February 14, he shot a large buck seemingly in the hind quarters but the animal dashed off before he could pump a second shot into its carcass. Four days later in the same neighbourhood Mr. Moody came upon a herd of fifteen or 20 deer, all of them bolting except one buck who faced him defiantly. A 150-grain hollow-point struck him in the right shoulder bringing him down. The buck was up again in an instant and charged his assailant Mr. Moody then took his 12 gauge Remington automatic loaded with two rounds of double 00 buck shot which were followed in the magazine by two lethal balls At 20 yards he gave him buck shot in the shoulder but the deer still came on; still another load of buck shot; at twelve yards a lethal ball. The buck dropped and lay kicking and fighting. Mr. Moody walked over to him and with three rounds from his Colt 45 put him out of misery.
