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
Bhai I have heard almost every audiostory you had uploaded multiple times during the last month. Was really eagerly looking forward to your next upload. Welcome back
Once again you brought your faithful listeners a fantastic story. I have looked all over the web for other stories with the quality we have grown accustomed to , but they just do not exist. thank you for your work we all appreciate it very much. I think I speak for all of your listeners when I say I am very much looking forward to the next story. Until then.......
I was looking for it for about past 40 years when I read this as a child. Thanks for reading this one out and reminding us of how great and calm Gordon Cummings was
Your narration is second to none. my favourite channel on TH-cam, thank you for bringing these stories into the digital realm, it is so very much appreciated!
I see Mr sing that your list of loyal followers is going up and so it should! You never fail to teach and entertain with your excellent narration skills. I had not heard the story before and really appreciate you bringing it to us. Please know how much your work is appreciated by so many people.
You're awesome man! You have perfect timing! My daughter and I made it all the way through all of your other stories on this channel for the third time last night. She asked me when we were going to get some more, and I told her I wasn't sure but I knew you were working on it. Thanks for not making me a liar hahaha. Thanks for giving me another way to bond with my daughter. You're a blessing to me, and I'm sure too many others
I really enjoy your channel. I have binged all of your videos. They are breathtaking. This one on the elephant is exceptional. A friend just recommended that I view the official trailer of a movie somewhat on this theme called Beast which is being released on August 19, 2022 in theaters about a maneating lion in Africa, I was happy to comment that those with an interest in such things to look up your channel and listen to your audio on maneaters in India in the early 20th century. I only wish someone had recommended your channel to me earlier. I came across Selva Lore in my TH-cam recommendations. Looking forward to your next release.
This is wonderful to hear. Thank you for taking out the time to share your thoughts and for all the encouraging words. I'll be sure to check out that trailer. Cheers!
Great story ! Years of abuse and brutal work in the blistering sun turned this mighty beast bitter. Elephants are very intelligent and have excellent memories. Excellent narration . Thanks again !
Thank you once again for your beautiful narration. I had never heard this story before. I was captivated during the entire narration. As always, your time and effort is much appreciated. You do a wonderful job and open up a world bygone to so many of us. Thank you. Thank you. And finally Thank You!!!
Another one that I enjoyed listening to very much. I see your cadre of followers have gone up by a good amount since when I first discovered this channel. Keep going and may you never stop.
Lovely story from a bygone time. It reminded me of George Orwell’s “shooting an elephant”, although the themes explored are very different. Thank you for another beautifully narrated audio story.
Fascinating tales from long ago. Thank you so much for bringing us works from these relatively less known authors who would otherwise be relegated to obscurity. Lots to look forward to I'm sure :))
@@selvalore Dear Selva, I have very much enjoyed this audio. I am trying to confirm the author's first name. I am wondering if his name was Albert? Thank you
Great piece now addicted to your voice it urges me more to think about to visit indian jungle landscape one day. Have listened your whole playlist and will request to upload more frequently.from Peshawar Pakistan.
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 . Thanks for your time and hard work , your channel is much appreciated 👍
That's a fair point! Thank you for all your thoughtful comments on all of the audio stories featured on this channel. I look forward to seeing your reaction every time I upload.
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.
Not the case though, there is now a leopard prowling in a densely populated delta region of tamilnadu, India. All of the modern technologies and force are not able to capture it. Which shows how much knowledgable Jim corbett or KA was to catch them on foot single handedly.
@@sivav7888 Is this leopard a maneater? Are they trying to capture it alive, or trying to shoot it? Shooting is much more successful and efficient. With today's electronic night vision technology, this should be an easy matter.
@@IMBrute-ir7gz not a maneater, they are trying to capture it alive. Its so stealthy even in plain terrain without much forest cover. You can find it in news. Noone knows where it came from as surrounding 5000 sq.km region does not have dense jungle..
I wonder if it was the mix of must and losing his one family member his muhut (not sure on spelling.)? We take them from their family, we abuse them, we brack them then wonder why they go rogue.
If you enjoy stories of elephant hunts, I suggest you look into the books of Walter “Karamojo” Bell. Widely considered the greatest elephant Hunter of all time, he has a three book series that details his exploits in early Africa.
Moral of the story don't hit anything 10× you're size. It won't end well. This poor boy just had enough of being a slave. Also a bull in must is capable of cursing a bus with ease.
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!
Vikram, thanks for the comment.
Man I think Kenneth Anderson had more balls than Jim Corbett. Like Jim would choose living over taking brazen chances
Thanks V A Singh
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
and sounds like Peter box just got tired of being hit by things the size of his tail

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.

Absolutely love this narration! This is now a favorite. Thank you!❤️
Thank you, darling!
Rainy day and a new story!!!
Perfect.
Always great to see your name in the comments, Mr. Russell! Enjoy the long weekend.
Being a Jim Corbett fan , this was a good narrative.

Surprisingly even though this story is not written by either Corbett or Anderson I liked it a lot. Can you read any other story about the same hunter?
Indeed, I will in due course. Thank you for your comment!
Love your audiobooks bro and really appreciate your effort may you and your channel grow
That's a lovely message. Thank you!
Wonderful narration! Amazing job as always.

Cool story Mr. Aparitam
Cheers, Mr. Lee!
Excellently presented.
Thank you!
Excellent narration! 👍
Thank you for watching, Vijayandren!
I wonder if it was the mix of must and losing his one family member his muhut (not sure on spelling.)?
We take them from their family, we abuse them, we brack them then wonder why they go rogue.
Very much agree. Quite possibly both of those reasons you mentioned played a role.
Appreciate the comment!
If you enjoy stories of elephant hunts, I suggest you look into the books of Walter “Karamojo” Bell. Widely considered the greatest elephant Hunter of all time, he has a three book series that details his exploits in early Africa.
Thank you for the recommendation. I'll see what I can find on him.
Thanks 👍
Thank yoy for listening!
This elephant was still small, there used to be fifteen feet high elephant, thousands of them deep inside the jungles
In all these stories it is only man who starts a cascade of events
Wonder what Peer Bux equates to in the English language?
Julius manuels masterpiece
Hi, could some kind person tell me if the A is for Albert? Albert Mervyn Smith. Thank you
Hello, he could very well be but I could not find the author's full name.
Moral of the story don't hit anything 10× you're size. It won't end well. This poor boy just had enough of being a slave. Also a bull in must is capable of cursing a bus with ease.
In which book did you read this story???
Tell me I want to read
I think its called Sport and Adventure in the Indian Jungle. But im not sure. This book is out of print now.
@@selvalore thank u sir 😊
Any word on if he found and bagged the Flying Dutchman?
Haha, that's funny. "Bagging" the flying dutchman would be something!
The old “throw the hat” trick.
So petterbucks was a war elephant, a warrior,he had ptsd why didn't they protect him from ,
👍🏻
Thank you. Love the username.
Damn… elephants are worse than tigers
Much worse. Just about the most dangerous animals because of their great size, strength and intelligence
