the   other   deer�察  �and   when   pursued   retire   in     the   middle   of   the   herd   or 

occasionally in front�察�but very seldom in the rear。 The deer�察�moreover�察�in 

order   to   protect   their   young   will   do   battle   with   the   hounds   and   trample 

them under foot�察�so that capture is not easy�察�unless you come at once to 

close quarters and scatter the herd�察�with the result that one or another of 

the fawns is isolated。 The effort implies��16�А�a strain�察�and the hounds will 

be left behind in the first heat of the race�察�since the very absence of their 

dams��17�А�will intensify the young deer's terror�察�and the speed of a fawn�察�

that   age   and   size�察  �is   quite   incredible。��18�А  �But   at   the   second   or   third   run 

they   will   be   quickly   captured�察  �since   their   bodies   being   young   and   still 

unformed cannot hold out long against fatigue。

should be made of twisted yew twigs��22�А�stripped of the bark to prevent 

their rotting。 They should have well´rounded hooplike ;crowns;��23�А�with 

alternate rows of nails of wood and iron woven into the coil。��24�А�The iron 

nails should be larger�察�so that while the wooden ones yield to the foot�察�the

this kind of grass being least liable to rot。 The rope and noose itself should 

both alike be stout。 The log or clog of wood attached should be made of 

common   or   of   holm   oak   with   the   bark   on�察  �three   spans   in   length�察  �and   a

atop of that some unbroken solid earth from a distance�察�so that the lie of 

the trap may be as much as possible unnoticed by the deer。 Any earth left 

over should be carried to a distance from the gin。 The mere smell of the 

newly´turned´up soil will suffice to make the animal suspicious�撮�30�А�and

     The   hunter   should   take   his   hounds   and   inspect   the   traps   upon   the 

mountains�察�early in the morning if possible�察�though he should do so also 

during the day at other times。 Those set on cultivated land must always be 

inspected early�察�before the sun is up in fact�撮�31�А�and for this reason�此�on the 

hills�察�so desert is the region�撮�32�А�the creatures may be caught not only at 

night but at any time of day�察�while�察�on the cultivated lands�察�owing to their 

chronic apprehension of mankind in daytime�察�night is the only time。��33�А�

     ��31�А �Before the sun is up。; 

     ��32�А�Or�察 �thanks to the lonesomeness of the region。; 

     ��33�А �It is night or never�察�owing to the dread of man which haunts the 

creature's mind during daytime。; 

     As   soon   as   the   huntsman   finds   a   gin   uprooted   he   will   let   slip   his 

hounds and with cheery encouragement��34�А�follow along the wake of the 

wooden clog�察�with a keen eye to the direction of its march。 That for the 

most   part   will   be   plain   enough�察  �since   stones   will   be   displaced�察  �and   the 

furrow   which   the   clog   makes   as   it   trails   along   will   be   conspicuous   on 

tilled ground�察�or if the deer should strike across rough ground�察�the rocks 

will    show     pieces    of   bark    torn   from    the   clog�察   �and   the    chase    will 

consequently be all the easier。��35�А�

     ��34�А�See vi。 20�察 �with view´halloo。; 

     ��35�А�Or�察 �along that track will not be difficult。; 

     Should the deer have been caught by one of its fore´feet it will soon be 

taken�察�because in the act of running it will beat and batter its own face and 

body�察  �if   by   the   hind´leg�察  �the   clog   comes   trailing   along   and   must   needs 

impede the action of every limb。 Sometimes�察�too�察�as it is whirled along it 

will   come   in   contact   with   the   forked   branches   of   some   tree�察  �and   then 

unless the   animal   can   snap   the   rope in   twain�察  �she is   fairly  caught�察  �there 

ends the chase。 But even so�察�if caught in this way or overdone with fatigue�察�

it were well not to come too close the quarry�察�should it chance to be a stag�察�
