Vigne and Martin (1994) recorded that the main shooter in a poaching party receives between Rs 10 000-20 000 (US$ 320-640) and the other members IRS 10 000 each (US$320). This may amount to a total payment to the poaching party of about IRS 50 000 (US$1600). Martin and Vigne's figures are largely substantiated by investigations for this report. which revealed that one successful operation can obtain between Rs20 000 and Rs50 000 (US$640-1600).
