 it, giving a lot of tongue, even for a whole day, and until it kills 

 the hare. When the sport is on foot, the sportsman, in order to

 likely places where the hare will pass. Hunting with the seoiioio 

 affords capital sport in the Italian Alps, and is a favourite diversion 

 of local sportsmen.
