“I asked him, “Why can’t you hunt a bison in a herd? ” Dad replied, “It is pretty easy to hunt a lone bison and get ahead of him stalking it, finding its travel route, but in a herd, they group and face you, and it is dangerous if they come charging against you." At the last light, an abandoned bull was ruminating at the edge of the tributary. Papa took a 56-yard shot, which is pretty far. The arrow caught the bull's throat and slowed its pace, and the last shot was out of respect for the peaceful death to the heart.”

“. An infamous hotel and finally abandoned spooky military base which was now used as a hunter's resting fireplace. As a seasoned hunter, my father patterned each kill. Most kills happened around the vicinity of the base along the tributaries between the 7-mile road and the edge. As an instinctive hunter, he identified the bungalow to be a hideout of the devil. Finding human bones and carcass remains. He felt it must be the perfect place to kill the amur predator”

“Men with atavistic nature also developed such ferocity and violent nature in hunting such majestic beings first for food and later for entertainment. Any idiot can walk through the valley of death with calculated risk, but in the shadows of a man-eater is a frisson of catharsis that would lead the hunter to annihilation”

“Remember, son, hunting is not for the fainthearted; a hunter never gets scared of blood or any animal, as he is an apex predator in the food web with heart and soul, loving the world and this taiga’. Around noon, he fixed me a quick lunch, and we waited for the bison hunt. For hours and hours, we waited for a lone bison when we spotted a herd of bison in Taiga.”

“A man-eater is a rare phenomenon in tigers, those are humongous gentle beings that prey on humans only on dire necessity when humans have completely exterminated their habitat. Give it an inch to walk away, and it will, even with the slightest intimidation or scare, the predatory instinct kicks in and tails wags up with short rushes and terrible roars. To hunt is a nature sport commenced on us but when animals kill us we call it an act of ferocity.”
