xiv. PARTRIDGE SHOOTIXG (PART II}, ^DRIVING' 241 



4th. Because, when driven downwind, yon can 

 easily direct the flight of the hirds to some cover you 

 desire them to go to ; you then have them under 

 command for a kilUn;i return drive. 



Should there be no wind you can drive partridges 

 pretty well where you like, if, as already explained, 

 you do not try to drive them off the limits of their 

 own ground. 



COMMENTS ON EXAMPLE 2 



It will be seen that the birds in the field (A) are 

 first driven downwind into the field (B), and over the 

 guns at Stand I. 



Instead of (B) being driven back to (A), the drivers 

 continue through this field and send the birds on over 

 the guns (who have moved to Stand II.) into the 

 boundary tield (c). 



The drivers next go round to the farther end of 

 ind starting from the road drive all the birds that 

 have come on from (A) and (B), back to those fields 

 and over the guns now at Stand III. 



The birds congregated in (c), having been fired at 

 and dispersed en nmti: thereto, will return even against 



rong wind to (B), and (A), from whence they were 



. iously driven, and will pass singly or in small 

 numbers at a time over the guns at Stand III.
