found dircd your Path as near as you can (o the place 

 where they are, lying there down foclofe you may not 

 be difcerned '■> by which means you will know where 

 they meet, and how accordingly you may pitch your 

 Nets. 



But the moft certain way of finding them out, is to 

 have a natural Vheafant-c^\\^ which you muft learn how 

 to ufe, underftanding all their Notes, and how to ap- 

 ply them : For they have feveral Notes, and all diffe- 

 rent •, one to cluck them together when the Hen would 

 brood them, another to chide them when they ftragglc 

 too far, a third to call them to meat when (he hath 

 found it, a fourth to make them look out for food 

 themfelves, and a fifth to call them about her to fport 

 withal. You muft ufe your Gall in the morning early, 

 at which time they ftraggle abroad to find Provender i 

 or elfe in the Evening juft about Sun-fetting, which is 

 their time likewife fojr feeding. 



Now although thefe are the beft times to ufe your 

 Call, yet you may call them at any other time of the 

 day, onely altering your Note. Juft at, or before Sun- 

 rifing, your Note muft be to call them to feed, and fo 

 at Sun-fet : but in the Forenoon and Afternoon your 

 Notes muft be to cluck them together to brood, or to 

 chide them for ftraggling, or to give them notice of 

 fome approaching danger. 



Knowing your Notes, and how to apply them, with 

 the places where Pheafants haunt, which you (hall know 

 by the ftrength of the under-growth, obfcurenefs,dark- 

 nefs, and folitarinefs of the place, you muft then lodge 

 your felf as clofe as poffible, and then call at firft very 

 foftly, left the Vheafants being lodg'd very near you, 

 ftiould be affrighted at a loud Note j but if nothing re- 

 ply, raife your Note higher and higher, till you extend 

 it to the uimoft compafs : and if there be a Pheafant 

 within hearing, (he will anfwer in a Note as loud as you?
