INTRODUCTION 



But these pages ought not to be, and indeed 

 must not be, compared with their works. 



My hand is more used to, and more skilled 

 in the use of, bridle, rifle and alpenstock than 

 the pen, and only the consciousness that I 

 have enjoyed many hunting experiences which 

 fall but to the lot of few has induced me to 

 offer this little book to sportsmen.
