Man Eating Leopard of Panar by Jim Corbett | Audiobook (English)  

I really enjoyed your reading of these maneater stories, really scary,thank you.

Thanks so very much

Thanks so very much

Still enjoyed…thank you..,

indeed. Thanks for listening.

He had hunted man-eaters while feverish with malaria. And once with an extreme ear infection from having had a rifle fired too close to his ear while guiding a hunt for upper class servants of the viceroy. After being stalked by the man eater he for and successfully dispatched him the abscess in his head burst During the course of his merciful pilgrimage and at that moment having relieved 500 square miles of territory from the predations of the man-eater. He too was relieved from his suffering, he probably traveled over a thousand miles on foot up hill and down. He didn't seek worship nor was he vain. His very acts show he had more love for his people than any government officer. His father was white British, his mother Hindi and participated in the revolt, while his father had had soldiered for the empire, he and she found each other in that chaos. His other stories about his cousin dansay and and early life. I thank the narrator for bringing this to us all. I would like to ask you to seek out the blind as audience and veterans whom have lost their sight in the service of their country. Jim , himself had dedicated his books and the proceeds thereof to these gallant men. I didn't write that plea from reading and writing. They were his words and dedication. I have read them many times from the age of 9 years old. Mother Theresa served God. And Jim Corbett served him as well in compassion for his fellows.

How can someone be so brave ....

He strictly asked people not to put bounty on animal head

Thank you for the kind words. Already working on them in my spare time! Been a fan of his stories myself.

Thanks for listening Mr. Thomas. Corbett's narrative ability as an author was exemplary.

Really aggressive. This leopard was more frightening than the better known Rudraprayag one. A shorter story, but a more intense one

Much appreciated. Thanks for listening.

Thanks! I hadn't really thought about it that way. Appreciate you for sharing your thoughts!

He is such a great story teller

True! Thanks for the comment Mr. Boswell.

Wonderful! Thanks for leaving a comment!

Thanks! I hope you do. It's still beautiful in parts. The development keeps encroaching inexorably.

Right on! Thanks for listening Mr. Krishnan!

Cheers!

You should read, "The man-eater of Rudraprayag"

You can't hardly get these books no more where can I get them

Cheers for that wonderful comment. It is much appreciated!

Thanks for the comment!

Much appreciated. In due course of time, I'll be posting more.

Absolutely! Thanks for listening.

Terrifying tales for shure 😳

Welcome and thanks for listening!

Thank you! Cheers! Good to hear from the neighboring state to the north.

Well, thanks for saying that despite the very unprofessional recording.

The illustration is from Raymond Shepard from the original book

Thanks.Will try to see if I can get a print!

Welcome aboard!

Thanks!

Hahaha love it!

Just hunting some whitetail deer maybe see a coyote once in awhile and that's about it. Lol pretty Minimal danger. Still a great reading man making me feel like I'm there on that tree limb. Sucks he got malaria again after all that.

@@garrettromer8499 Thanks Garrett. For future reference, there's a better version of this story (if you ever want to revisit it). The link is in the pinned comment. WhiteTail deer is an American staple. We have quite a lot of them down here in Texas. But nothing compared to Wisconsin ofc

@@selvalore lol I think I might rather be hunting whitetail in Texas over Michigan right now. Got some nice snow storms coming through our way. I'm glad I'm hunting on my tribes reservation though hunting public land in Michigan is ridiculous. Hunters basically stepping over each other everywhere out there. It's a good way to get accidentally shot because it's gun season. U can only hunt with a compound bow or a crossbow where I'm at so it feels a lot safer. Not many ppl who still hunt with a bow at this time of year. At least here in central Michigan.

You're welcome Abhinav. This story has now been re-recorded with better audio.

@@selvalore yes heard the new one ..I am.a big fan of jim.corbett and Kenneth Anderson

Thank you for listening and for your comment.

I will get to it at some point. Thanks for listening Mr. Sinha!

If you've read Chowgarh Tigers, Corbett was carrying some kind of yellow ointment in his pocket for himself which came in handy. Corbett was inexperienced when it comes to hunting man eaters in this one so its understandable. Also, the terrain is so rugged and tough that it would have been virtually impossible to carry any extra weight when walking for miles considering the heavy rifle he was already carrying.

@@selvalore your right I just thought after hearing he had 5 guys carrying his luggage and comfortables you would think an experienced hunter regardless of first time hunting maneaters just a hunter in that time period would think medical aid would be first on the list to pack when there were no cars and had to walk everywhere. Even for just plain accidents a fall or bad cut you would want medical care for infection so that’s why it surprised me that wasn’t packed in his belongings for himself or others hunting a man eater !

Or he just had the ultimate confidence. Its worth remembering that although he lived a very active, rugged and often perilous life and shot about a dozen menacing man-eaters and spent hundreds of nights and countless days alone in the jungles or on hunting expeditions with others, he never got injured. Not to my knowledge at least.

@@sangramsingh8000 he almost died from a abscess in the jungle. Also malaria several times that put him incapacitated for days without medicine. I just thought a man of his knowledge would want a good first aid kit going hunting regardless for a man eater or not regardless of confidence just for him or people he met that had been hurt. He had 5 servants as he called them throw some first aid in with ya. But he was tougher than I’ll ever be and twice the hunter so he probably had some reason I was thinking maybe availability to the medicine to take before he left or the money to spend on it. Who knows. I love his stories and what he did for the people so it all worked out. I just wish he could have helped that poor women who was mauled.

@@209brandonb you're right about those things. Its true he always had men with him carrying his stuff when he was out on these expeditions. But they would only go so far as the forest bungalow or wherever he pitched his camp. On the actual maneater hunts he always went alone except for a few times when he had Ibbotson join him. But for sure, one wonders!

Thanks for listening

That fact should be palpable to most, although it's never articulated quite so well!

What a scary experience! Thankfully you escaped with only minor injuries.

@@selvalore Yep indeed once in a lifetime experience and by gods grace escaped with minor injuries 🙏 Thank you for all the stories must have listened to each audiobook dozens of times and its the only thing I listen while sleeping 💤 I hope you keep uploading them.

Some of them are already up on the channel.

Thanks for listening Manas. India is home!

No doubt the people of the himalayan foothills in those two districts had a rough time at the beginning of the 20th century. It was tough eking a living from agriculture. The forest cover shrank rapidly in the 20th century and tigers or leopards came into direct conflict with the people. They still do to this day. Its a miracle of some sorts how the country has managed to hold onto its tiger population, albeit a fraction of their numbers a 100 or some years ago.

"Temple tiger and more man-eaters of Kumaon"

The source of this story is the book "Temple Tiger and More Man Eaters of Kumaon".

Suprised they even allow his gun to be in england today jim Colbert would be disgusted at what England has turned into today

Excellent. Thanks for listening.

Lol thts snarky. I think in this it hardly makes a difference.

hahaha your cat is 95 percent similar to a tiger or a lion. People get weird ideas about their cats all the time. Let's hope your cat is an inner pacifist.

@@jefferyschlezinger7847 lol

Haha that would apply to most men I reckon

A little blunt, but I can see your heart's in the right place.

Spoken from a safe place far away I'm sure
