I'm a Sambar hunter myself - was interested to see if any US hunters had chased sambar and what sort of experiences they had.

I hunted yesterday in fact - had a brief look at the animal I've been patterning for the past 6 weeks. First good look in fact - a 30 incher that will be my biggest if I get him. Anything over 25" is a trophy, so if he in fact goes 30, I'll be wearing a smile only a jackhammer could remove.
