one will not abfcond your body, and the other^will be 

 apt to frighten the Fowl. 



Inftead of this Stalking-horfe, you may talhion out 

 of Canvas painted an Ox or Cow : and this change is 

 necelTary , when you have fo beaten the Fowl with 

 your Stalking-horfe, that they begin to tind yo^r ae- 

 ceit, and will no longer endure it, (as it frequently talis 

 out.) Then you may (talk with an Ox or Cow, till the 

 Stalking-horfe be forgotten , and by this means make 

 your fport laftingand continual. 



Some there are that ftalk with Stags or Red-Deer 

 form'd out of painted Canvas, with the natural Horns 

 of Stags fixt thereon, and the colour fo lively painted, 

 that the Fowl cannot difcernthe fallacy i and thefe are 

 very ufeful in low Fenny grounds, where any fuch Deer 

 do ufually feed •, and are more familiar with the Fowl, 

 and fo feed nearer them than Ox,Horfe,or Cow: 

 by which means you (hall come within a far nearer di- 

 ilance. 



There are other dead Engines to ftalk withal, as an 

 artificial Tree, Shrub, or Bu(h, which may be made of 

 fmall Wands, and with painted Canvas made into the 

 (hape of a Willow, Poplar, or fuch Trees as grow by 

 Rivers and Water -fides •, for thefe are the heft. 



If you ftalk with a Shrub or Bufti, let them not be 

 fo tall as your Tree,but much thicker \ which you may 

 make either of one entire Bu(h, or of divers Builies 

 interwoven one with another, either with fmall Wi- 

 thy-wands, Cord, or Pack-thread, that may not be dif- 

 cerned ; and let not your Bulh exceed *the height of a 

 man, but be thicker than four or five, with a Spike at 

 the bottom to ftick into the ground whilft you take 

 your level.
