As foon as you hear this anfwer, if it be from afar, 

 and from one fingle Fowl, creep nearer and nearer un- 

 to it, ftill calling, but not fo loud •, and as you ap- 

 proach nearer to it,fo will the Pheafant to you j and as 

 you alter your Note, fo will (he : and in all points you 

 nnuft endeavour to innitate her, and in hne you will 

 get light of her, either on the Ground or Pearch : 

 Then ceafe your calling, and fpread your Net between 

 the Pheafant and your felf, in the mort convenient 

 place you can find, with all fecrecy and lllence, ma- 

 king one end of the Net faft to the ground, and hol- 

 ding the other end by a long Line in your hand > by 

 v;hich, when any thing ftraineth it, you may pull the 

 Net clofe together : which done, call again, and as 

 foon as you perceive the Pheafant come underneath 

 your Net, then rife up and (hew your felf, that by gi- 

 ving the Pheafant an affright, he may offer to mount, 

 and fo be entangled within the Net. 



Now if it fo fall out that you hear many anfwers, 

 and from divers corners of the Wood, then iVu not at 

 all, but keep your place i and as you hear them by their 

 ibunds to come nearer and nearer unto you, fo (hall 

 you in the mean time prepare your Nets ready, and 

 fpread them conveniently about you, one pair of Net9 

 on the one tide, and another on the other tide i then lie 

 clofe, and apply your felf to the Call till fuch time as 

 you have allured them under your Nets i then ftand up 

 and (hew your felf, which will affright them and make 

 chem mount, whereby they will be entangled.
