RECREATION. 



xliii 



I am 5 to 8 hours' ride from the best of 

 big game hunting. Our game comprises 

 wild water buffaloes, deer, alligators, pig- 

 eons, ducks, doves, snipe, wild chickens and 

 wild hogs. 



The mountain buffalo {carabao) is a 

 most dangerous animal when wounded. 

 Several hunters have recently had narrow 

 escapes from charging carabao. An Ameri- 

 can constabulary officer whom I know re- 

 cently had a desperate encounter with a 

 wounded buffalo bull. The officer saved 

 his life, but had 2 ribs broken and received 

 severe flesh wounds. I have reason for be- 

 lieving that the wild carabao of Luzon is 

 one of the most dangerous animals on earth. 



The 30-40 army rifle does not seem to be 

 a suitable weapon for hunting carabao. Per- 

 sonally I should prefer a 45-70 .500 or 50- 

 100-450 repeater. I have only seen one 

 full grown wild caraboa and was armed at 

 the time with a 30-30 Winchester carbine. 

 I failed to stop the game.

 ium for a club of 18 subscribers to Recrea- 

 tion, and I am well pleased with it.
