Was wondering when you will pick up this story. I like how you have included small snippets of forest sounds to give us a more immersive sense of the story. There aren't many KZfaqrs who make audiobooks with as much passion as you do. Thank you so much for making these!

The tiger took a bullet from a heavy .450 rifle straight in its face and still lived (until his luck ran out). That in itself is mind boggling.

This has always been a bittersweet story. On one hand, the description and the prose is so poetic that it spins a web around you. On the other hand there is sadness as a magnificent animal is needlessly killed.

I devoured every single shikari book I could find on the library shelves when I was in high school and it's been great revisiting many of them via your channel. It brings back memories of myself running cross-country on misty evenings, my sole motivation to run being fear of an imaginary man-eating panther lurking about in the foliage. Snippets of forest sounds and names of places or people pronounced the way a native speaker would, makes the audio even more engaging. Thank you for making all these books available for us.

Fun fact: That tall Semul tree still stands today and is a historical landmark close to the powalgarh forest rest house. The area is still as beautiful as Corbett describes.

You’re a sensation! Love the new edits Mr. Singh! Work from home is getting pretty interesting while binge-listening!

Man, these narrations are LIT. I have been playing them for my kids because I love the written stuff so much, and my wife really loves your voice in reading these. Big time cheers on these. You have been doing a killer job and we sincerely appreciate your work. Best driving audio ever. The kids literally lose their minds over these stories.

GREAT JOB SON . WHY SUCH A LONG GAP. BEEN EXPECTING EVERY DAY FOR YOUR WORK. PLEASE DO KENNETH ANDERSON BOOKS . GOD BLESS YOU. EAGERLY WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU.

So glad to see an upload from you. This is a classic tale.

Excellent. Thank you. Despite the sad ending, this is such a good story. It is quite amazing that the bachelor lived for as long as he did even with so many trophy hunters after him all thos years.

I'm quite familiar with this tale and I'm glad to have heard it being read out so well. Jim must have enjoyed telling this tale at every dinner. A 100 years ago, killing for sport was a norm and every well-to-do man with a gun took part in it without much thought.

Thanks for sharing. And a happy first day of the year of the Tiger 🐯

I remember reading all of his when I was a teenager thank you for bringing them all back but your voice makes it very very good I love listening and remembering back to my teenage years

Thank you

I LOVE your voice & narration. Thank you for these wonderful stories I listen to as I fall asleep. His writings are very detailed, but never gory. I learn of your culture & enjoy your reading of his stories MUCH!

Finally you back was waiting for you. Thanks 🙏

Brilliant I've been looking forward to the next Jim Corbett story. I'll be listening to this while I cook dinner for this evening.

Much awaited thanks man; my nap time voice. sleep is going to be very good today 😌

only just came across your channel and i haven't stopped listening since yesterday! thank you for your great content!

Its incredible that this tiger survived a head wound. Corbett says a tiger can survive and even recover a head wound! Wow!

These stories is a telling about that marauders and maneating predators have to be dealt with when it turns up. I wont solve the current sorrow,it will only milden it there and prevnt other ones to come in the future.

Thank you for another perfect reading ,you really bring these stories to life, I always look forward eagerly to your latest upload . Can anyone imagine how much courage it takes to be within 10 metres of a man-eater . Mr Corbett was certainly a brave man . Thank you again. . jim

That artwork is 🔥

This channel was quite a fortunate find. Cheers.

thank you for this.

I am from Texas. I can attest to how difficult it is to even see a big cat. I have spent much time afield fishing, hunting and hiking. I also sold raw land for many years. I have never seen our mountain lions alive while a foot. N e v e r. I have heard them call. It sounds like a woman or a child being killed and made my hair in the back of my neck stand up. Only once near the Mexican border late at night I saw a coal black cat for an instant while driving. I am not sure if it was a mountain lion or a jaguar. It was only for a instant in the headlights of my truck. So going out and trying to stalk or even sit up and hope to see one would just be dumb luck I think. They can be found with hunting dogs however. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

Simply awesome

Thank You for a fine reading ….

Continued appreciation for what you do. Thank you.

Another excellent story and well read as always

Loved it ♥️🖤♥️

Waiting for your next upload eagerly selvalore

Happy New Year! Thank you for another riveting tiger tale, just in time for the Taiwanese Lunar New Year, the year of the Tiger! Tigers are such amazing creatures! I love that Jim Corbett didn’t shoot tigers for sport or financial gain, but to help the people who were being menaced by man-eaters. The way you read the story keeps me on edge, as if I can feel the tension that must have been in Jim as he backed away. I hope that 2022 is being kind to you, sir! ✌🏼💖

Fantastic job as usual my friend love the story and you reading it so grateful to you this is a beam of light in Grey times thank you 🙏

Have been waiting eagerly for your video. I liked it more when you said your full name rather than AV Singh. Love your work dude.

Before i wrote 'jungle stories' after long search Books actual name is "INDIA ADVENTURE STORIES" By PATRICK GRIFFITH. THANKS SIR🙏🇮🇳📚🙏👍👍😃😃😃😃😃

Great subject and great narration… thanks for posting 👍👍👍

Thank you for adding the sound effects I used to listen to your first audiobooks stop it, look up the animal just to hear the sound it's nice you included it.

Its a pity this channel has only 3500 views. Guy's pls share it your social media group.

I was waiting for your upload do it atleast once a week

Welcome back Sir, been ages since we heard from you.

Leido una vez bonita historia

It’s amazing how these big cats can be hit with bullets and still live!

Bro you suggested me Kenneth Anderson books here in the comments, and I couldn't but binge read all three volumes. So thrilling! You should make a video or a compilation of all the good books for jungle lore people. Even Goodreads doesn't have any lists for our niche interest

The Nitro Express is indeed powerful and very expensive!

Hello. I enjoyed all of your previous Audiostorys, especially the Jim Corbett storys, my favourite one being the Rudraprayag Leopard. Please do the Thak Man Eater and the Chuka Man Eater next! Keep up the good work!

Nowadays, shooting dead a magnificent tiger, as described in this story, would provoke the same outrage as that of the senseless killing of Cecil the Lion by that cowardly American dentist a few years back. Thankfully, most of Jim Corbett’s exploits involved disposal of man-eaters for which his bravery was commendable. In his later years, Corbett realised the need for conservation of species and spent the remainder of his days behind a camera, instead of a rifle.

Was waiting for your upload but it didn't show up in the notification 😐...so ended up looking in the channel and here's the video... youtube can be so sus sometimes.

Jim is The Man! Did he actually write this? If so he's one hell of an author.

Absolutely Stunning Narration!!

This tiger was huge, I guess like 10 and a half feet long!

Hi, could you please do the Maneater of Hograli by Kenneth Anderson?

You can't miss breakfast 😢 no matter the circumstances 😅

Tried falling asleep to this, but ended up cought up in the story

The killing of this tiger for being what it was made the story sad, but no doubt it is a wonderful story. Another chapter on how man brought down nature. Your reading and details painted the whole scene.

Dear friend Plz remove this very story of normal tiger killed by great Jim Corbett. Rest all the stories of killing maneater was amazing Thanks

The. 450 x400. As about. 5000 ft lbs. At muzzle. The 500 nitro express. As about. 8000 ft lbs. Either should. Stop. Most large game !!!

The bachelor of Powalgarh was neither a man eater nor a killer. It was a rather exceptionally beautiful, shy tiger that was constantly eyed and targetted by all these white hunters as a trophy for his size. Kinda like Corbett for his conservation efforts, but on this one - pretty hypocritical. Acted like a typical 'gora sahab' - killing for sport of it. Disgusting to say the least. But well, at least he documented it, even if it was just a dick brag. Thanks to this account we all know about this beautiful tiger, and Corbett's vanity. Heroes are grey too.

What kind of dog was Robin?

It served you right Corbett getting your ear shot out on top of that Elephant before you unjustly shot this “bachelor “ who was guilty of nothing but scaring some old man with his herd! Tell him to go get a job in a kitchen! That angers me how you took that bush shot!

Spoiler alert! Its worth noting here that Jim Corbett was a master shot and sportsman. He knew what he was doing. A .450 nitro express is a lethal cartridge. They used them (and still do) for very dangerous and tough animals like brown bears, cape buffalo, elephants, etc. Its powerful and kills quickly. He goes home and gets the heavier gun for the tiger and only then prepares to engage him. He does not want the animal to suffer. And he shoots the tiger right in its face, hoping it would get the job done without leaving a bloody mess. But this Tiger was so badass that it took that bullet in its face, lost a piece of his skull, and a lot of blood. Yet he survives this onslaught. That demonstrates this animals strength and toughness. Its rueful that such an animal was lost because how big and beautiful he was.
