than id any other place: and fo it is the fame with the 

 Coverts 



But, fay fome of ovir Huntfmen, all ftrange Countries 

 that differ from that to which Hounds are accuftonned/ 

 cautes them at \\\i\ to be at feck : But good Hounds 

 will foon be iiialkr of any Country s and therefore he 

 that would have the bell Hounds, mull ufe them to all 

 kinds of Hunting : And it is eafie io bring Hounds to 

 enjoy a Scent from a bkak Down to a trefh Pafture. 

 And therefore many of us love to enter in the worft 

 Countries. 



Do not accuftom your Hounds to hunt in the Mor- 

 ning, bccau(c of the Dew and moifture of the Earth : 

 and befides, you will find by experience, that if after- 

 wards you hunt them in the heat of the day, they will 

 foon give over the chafe j neither will they calf on 

 willingly or chearfully, but feek out the (hades to fleep 

 in. Yet many of us agree, that to hunt both early and 

 late in the morning by Trayling, advantageth the 

 Hounds to ufe their Nofes i and by keeping them fome- 

 times in the heat of the day, or till night, moves them 

 to ftoutnefs. 



The belt feafon to enter your young Hounds is in 

 September and O'iiober i for then the weather is tem- 

 perate, neither too hot nor too cold , and then is the 

 time to iind young Hares which have never been hun- 

 ted, which are foolifh, and ignorant of the politick 

 crolTings, doublings, c^c. of their Sires, gunning com- 

 monly end-ways, frequently fquatting, and as often 

 ftarting, by which encouragement the Hounds are the 

 better entered. 



A Hare h?th greater Scent, and is more eagerly 

 hunted by the Hounds, when llie feedeth and relie^ 

 veth on green Corn , than at any other time of the 

 year.
