flush a tiger

[vil]

Dear teachers,

Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence? May I know which of the mentioned three synonyms fit to the present case?

Boggley Wollah is situated in a fine, lonely, marshy, jungly district, famous for snipe-shooting, and where not infrequently you may flush a tiger.

flush = startle, spring or rouse

Thank you for your efforts.

Regards,

V

I'd assume that this would be to hunt it.
