About The Book: In "Jungle Life in India, or the Journeys and Journals of an Indian Geologist," the author clarifies that while the book contains accounts of shooting and sport, they do not claim to write as a sportsman. Rather, the author's experiences with various forms of sport were incidental to their everyday life, rather than being pursued solely for the sake of sport itself. Engaging in successful sport typically requires undivided attention, but the demands of the author's work in remote and challenging locations often prevented them from fully exploiting opportunities for abundant game. However, for those sportsmen in India who appreciate more than mere trophy hunting.
