324 THE KEEPERS BOOK 



(9) It is wise to remember that, after being shot at, 

 snipe may fly or be blown long distances and 

 then fall dead.

 spaniels and red Irish setters, the latter being 

 used for shooting over bogs or large marshes, 

 and the former for smaller and drained 

 marshes.
