$120 was that the cost to hunt just Guar or other species as well? Cost for tiger, leopard, guar and usual length of hunt. Thanks for this information and all of the other information you have provided about India’s hunting traditions.

Great thread. I grew up in India and have seen huge gaur many times in National Parks mostly Mudumalai, Anamalai, Hasanur / Dimbum, Kodaikanal etc. They are the most stunning and spectacular animal apart from the tiger.
Madras Christian College zoology department used to have a gaur head that was 48 inches wide shot in Travancore in the 1920s i think.
A Tea or coffee Plantation in Chikmangalur had a head that was 47 inches wide but more massive horns.
The Wild Water buffalo of Assam (Bubalis Arni) is slightly bigger than the gaur and far more dangerous. It is said to be more dangerous than the cape buffalo.

Hi Joshlee0518 (please let me know if you are fine being addressed like that),
Thought I would drop you a PM. It is super exciting to plan a hunt and we are more than happy to assist you. Have you given any thought yet to which species you would like to take?
What do you hunt usually and which weapons/calibers are you using?
Look forward to swapping experiences and ideas.
Happy hunting - Daniel
