So he shot it out with a 30-30.

As regards arms, a good plain 12-bore shotgun with a 30-30 rifle- barrel underneath the others is the best weapon to have constantly in one's hand in the South American forests, where big game is rare and yet may at any time come in one's path.

When specially hunting the jaguar, marsh-deer, tapir, or big peccary, an ordinary light repeating riflethe 30-30, 30-40, or 256is preferable.

The only animals that can be classed as dangerous are the jaguar and white-jawed peccary, and a 30-30 or 44 calibre is heavy enough for such game.
