TIGER! TIGER!

by William Baze ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 14, 1967

William Baze has hunted in the forests of the night...and day, and he has a passionate enthusiasm for the sport particularly when it comes to the challenge of that most ferocious feline, the tiger. The book is crammed with stories of his personal encounters and triumphs and can be used as a handbook for the Indo-China bound sportsman who finds a tiger outside his tank. The chapters include notations on the landscapes in the Indo-China area, the habits and likeliest habitations of the prey with such details as why not to use strychnine (ruins the trophy--the skin). Mr. Baze, who bagged his first tiger in 1916, and spent a good deal of his life in these jungles, has some harrowing stories of maneaters and close calls which makes this readable but he still may not find a captive audience. It's routine.
