In India, as I understand from some of my Indian friends, hunting has been for years a rich man’s sport… the realm of the wealthy and privileged. Game populations in much of the country were decimated both by poaching and by uncontrolled hunting during the Colonial years. However, conservation efforts in the past decade or two have resulted in the return of many native species… although there are still far more Axis deer in Texas than there are in all of their native country (India).
