THESE letters were written, in a simple form, as a record of my shikar experiences. I have always loved shikar ever since my early childhood and all through a strenuous life. I have tried never to miss a holiday, and even when hardest at work I have managed to go out for a few hours. It has always been a source of pleasure and education for me. It has developed powers of observation which I have found useful in my life. I wrote these letters for members of my family and my friends, to arouse in them some love for sport, and also as a record of my feelings. The jheel and jungle, bird and beast, have always had a strange fascination for me, and although I have not been able to reproduce all that I have gone through and felt, I venture to hope that these pages may afford some pleasure to those who are attracted by sport. They may also find points which may help them when out for game, as my experience has been very varied, extending over years, mainly in different parts of Bengal and Central India. I claim some degree of expert knowledge and success as a shikari, and shall be proud of my record if my little book finds a welcome place on the table of shikari friends, and helps my children to remember their old father and make them lovingly to preserve his trophies.
