Tigre stayed in same area for long time, probably one male, 2-3 ff. | Hunting was usually Nov. - March (when got too hot for dogs). Usual method to call at night, to locate. Then hunt in that area (of call answer) next day with dogs. Sometimes made large circle, trying to pick up fresh tracks. One taken 22 December for Hollander using this method. | Calls - Hunter can distinguish sexes of answering call, apparently. Both sees answer, year around. Young apparently born in any month, w/o season (little evidence). Putting and bait, dead or alive, brought poor success. But often return to own kill, not often it starts to rot. JFF had no information on traps a poisoned carcasses, although others mentioned these methods, not from first hand experience. Food mainly deer - but other things too, even lizards. JFF thought all game much
