| We were camping on one of those remote native clearings in the jungle, very primitively tilled, and only occupied at intervals, called ladangs. First rice, then coffee and rubber are cultivated on those dry fields, where planting takes place without much ado between the huge stumps and logs, whi... |

Black Rhino

| With my second Rhino we had a lively encounter. In the first glow of dawn we had set out from camp, east of the lake, in pursuit of Giraffe, and soon picked up some fresh tracks that led us over a low hill. From its brow a fine view opened out below us, across a wide plain teeming with herds of... |

| The shooting of the Rhinoceros sondaicus in Lower Perak, by Mr. Vernay, reminds me of the occasion on which my brother, H. C. Barnard, and I shot a male of the species on nearly the same spot in 1898. A short account of the incident may be of interest to some readers of 'The Malayan Forester.' ... |

| The brain is so small and so well protected by the horns that a front shot is almost impossible. It is well to aim low behind the shoulder or in the middle of the neck, but when the beast is facing, and a shot cannot be placed inside the shoulder, an aim to break the upper part of the leg is adv... |

| He is easy to kill with a small bore, with, of course, solid bullets; and the best place to hit him is low through the shoulder. A shot in the centre of his short neck is quite effectual, or if he is standing half turned away, low behind the car will brain him. As a rule he dies quickly; but wh... |

| A point to be remembered with all game which has to be spoored up, is, that a very early start is essential, so the hunter should be away as the sun tips the horizon. This is even of importance when one goes out chance hunting, for early in the morning Antelopes, and game such as Buffaloes will ... |

| Many years ago I secured a good White Rhino bull at Lemasi, in the Lado Enclave, a country of thorn scrub interspersed with wide stretches of open grass, upon which the beasts cropped during the dark. One April night the stillness was broken by the hungry grunting of a Lion close to camp, and in... |

| I have found with rhino that if the wind is right one can go practically right up to them, and also, as with all dangerous game, that the closer one can get to them the better and safer it is, as one can then be more sure of one's shot. I call to mind a rather peculiar instance concerning rhino, ... |

| When a charging rhino must be turned, if possible without killing, the usual resource is to fire a bullet into the thick part of the horn near the base. The full shock of the bullet is delivered upon the head of the rhino and it is dazed and bewildered. The bullet does not penetrate to a vital ... |
