In Lion Adventure the Hunts are given an unusual mission - to track down and kill a man-eating lion that has been stalking and killing the locals. With a distinctive black mane, the lion proves exceptionally wily.
Along the way they need to deal with opposition from local authorities, an enemy who is trying to kill them and a night stranded out on the veidt with no food water or supplies.
For the first time the Hunt's mission is to kill an animal. Will they find a way to take it alive anyway?

Hunting man eaters in real life
The memoirs of Jim Corbett
In real life hunting man eaters could take months of patient tracking, staking out kills, and following up rumours efore the animal was found. Then once it was found it was a case of managing to get a successful shot, which could take many attempts.
For some first hand information about hunting maneating big cats, the memoirs of Jim Corbett, hunter and conservationist, are excellent reading. Although he regarded shooting them as regretable, in several cases the animals he was hunting had killed over a hundred humans, sometimes several hundred.
Jim Corbett Omnibus
Amazon Price: $14.72 (as of 02/16/2012)
The Omnibus edition gives you an idea of how many people were killed by maneaters in India and why the policy of shooting them was implemented. It is also a fascinating look at tracking, hunting, and the Indian wilderness and wildlife.
