Shikar

Where other men took ten days to the Hills, Strickland took leave for what he called shikar, put on the disguise that appealed to him at the time, stepped down into the brown crowd, and was swallowed up for a while. ❋ Rudyard Kipling (1900)

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the camp at dawn, and went all over the same ground, but with no better success, only seeing a couple of bara singh, hornless now, and therefore comparatively uninteresting from a "shikar" point of view. ❋ T. R. Swinburne (N/A)

Our brief experience of camping and "shikar" had proved to my wife that she was not cast in the heroic mould of a female Nimrod. ❋ T. R. Swinburne (N/A)

The Leh scheme thus having come to naught, and our friends being still wholly intent on "shikar" to the exclusion of all other pursuits, we decided to be independent, so we hired a nice-looking boarded dounga, whose fresh and clean appearance pleased us, for a term of three months. ❋ T. R. Swinburne (N/A)

The men considered it now time to get up some "shikar," so they invented a bear. ❋ T. R. Swinburne (N/A)

Unfortunately, every guide in the shikar was horribly gored, luckily I was able to climb the offending Banyan tree and escaped serious injury. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Himalayan shikar reserves; surveys and management proposals. ❋ Unknown (2009)

    The books Skellum had which described the shikar ritual were more interesting to Chainer but harder to concentrate on. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)

He was looking forward to his dinner, but he was looking forward to the shikar with Chainer even more. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)

Chainer made no such distinction, but he was glad that something had sparked his friend's fighting spirit after the shikar. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)

Some dementists on shikar simply tried to see as many creatures as possible. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)

He could probably go on shikar once a year, and he would still never see all of the Krosan before he died. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)

He had been prepared to explain the importance of the ritual itself, how important it had been to Skellum, and how fitting it would be for Chainer's partner in the pits to become his partner on shikar. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)

    "Laquatus will have more and better options for his thrall after Chainer experiences shikar," Skellum said. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)

He knew that shikar would be extremely difficult without Skellum's guidance. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)

Each shikar was as unique as the dementist who took it, but the end objective was always the same, to align the world without to the world within and increase the dementist's ability to bridge the gap between them. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)

Kamahl might be able to blow a hole in its head with one of his axes, but that did nothing for Chainer's shikar. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)

He even asked her to accompany him on shikar, but she declined. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)

Teamed with Kamahl, he would return from shikar as the ancient ritual intended, as a hunter. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)

In three days you and Skellum will begin the shikar. ❋ Mcgough, Scott (2002)
