Informed by the author A. Mervyn Smith's personal experiences in the jungles of South India, this extraordinary story chronicles the career of Peer Bux- the largest bull elephant in the erstwhile Madras Presidency, in the service of the government.
Peer Bux had proved himself to be an invaluable asset in the employ of the forest department until he went rogue and soon acquired the moniker of the "Terror of Hunsur" owing to his depredations stretching over a wide area.

Wow, that was surprisingly a good story. A lot of these non-Corbett/non-Anderson writings tend to fall flat, but this one surely delivers, alongwith your stellar narration. Nicely done!

omg rite. I just cant get over the cool attitude in throwing the hat to distract the "brute", ( I laugh everytime I hear that) just to get the kill shot. that's a predator

Agreed. A good bit happened before Corbett and Anderson. Hunting stories tend to follow a pattern, the animal, the chase, the kill. However, some incidents are hair raising, especially if narrated imaginatively. The story of Pir Bux is as gripping as anything from the two names stated earlier. A terrifying, terrifyingly strong, terrifyingly cunning, ten-foot giant with a big grudge on its massive shoulders

Sorry for my late reply. Another excellent and exciting story perfectly read as always . It's interesting that at 10.30 it states that the elephant only attacks natives and not white men , I wonder if it remembered the "taming and training" it received from the locals to domesticate it and was seeking revenge .

I love these tales of Old India! Today, whenever a dangerous animal goes rogue, whether it be a man-eating tiger, lion, leopard, crocodile, or bear in India, Africa, America or Siberia, it is quickly and efficiently eliminated by a government agency, mostly thanks to today's modern technology. Gone are the individual heroes like Corbett and Patterson, etc.
