with a favourable wind as many as seven have often 

 been out. Towards the end of the season a deer 

 drive takes place at times, and also occasionally deer 

 are " moved " when they are in places where it is not 

 possible to stalk them. The annual kill of stags is 

 about 200, of 14 stone clean, while in the low ground 

 stags of 17 and 18 stone are got each season. The 

 Duke of Fife is himself a very keen hard-working 

 stalker, and I doubt if any other gentleman of the 

 same age as His Grace has ever killed more stags 

 to his own rifle.
