146 RED DEER. 



This is a signal to ride to the edge of the 

 wood to see what it is that breaks cover; 

 a runnable stag generally leaves by known 

 paths, paths which he uses at other times, 

 so that it is to these places they ride to 

 watch. When one of them sees the right 

 stag break cover he shouts " Tally ho ! " 

 Reckless in his haste, the stag does not 

 heed anything in front, and if his path leads 

 through a crowd, as occasionally happens, 

 sometimes knocks over one or two people, 

 not intentionally, nor causing injury, but 

 rolling them aside in eagerness to reach the 

 open country.
