6'1" tall very brave man Jim Corbett , (born 25 July 1875 and died on 19 April 1955) was an Indian-born hunter, conservationist and naturalist, famous for his writings on the hunting of man-eating tigers and leopards. The Corbett National Park in India is named in his memory.
He was born of English ancestory in the town of Naini Tal in the Kumaon foothills of the Himalayas. He was a hunter and fishing enthusiast in early life but took to big game photography later.Corbett hunted down at least a dozen man-eaters. His very first kill, the Champawat Tiger in Champawat, alone was responsible for 436 documented deaths. He also shot the Panar Leopard, which allegedly killed 400 after being injured by a poacher and thus unable to hunt normal prey. In later life, he resolved never again to shoot an animal except for food or if it were a dangerous beast.♥

Your other answerers have mentioned both of the
two famous Jim Corbetts. The one who was the
hunter in India wrote a book about his experiences.
It is titled "Maneaters of Kumaon". As he pointed
out, hunting maneating tigers or leopards is iffy
buisiness, because the animal may be hunting you
at the same time.
