killed in six days by seven guns. The big day was January 25th. 

 Although not in a day, in a season, more 'cock have been killed 

 at Muckross, near Killarney, than even at Ashford, or than 

 anywhere else in the United Kingdom. 



Several people besides the artist Chantrey have accidentally 

 killed two woodcocks at a shot. Possibly it was never done 

 by design. 



Probably the best single day's bag in England was that of 

 101 birds in Swanton Wood, on Lord Hastings' Norfolk estate.
