308 LETTERS TO YOUNG SHOOTERS LETTER 



SHEEP 



Sheep in numbers are enough to ruin any moor, 

 as shown in my last letter. If about to take a 

 driving moor, I really believe it would recompense 

 you to hire pasturage for the sheep, and not allow a 

 sheep, a shepherd, or a dog on the heather in the 

 nesting season, or during the months of April, May, 

 and June. Your stock of grouse would, without 

 doubt, be then much increased.
