Total of five guns for four days and four for three days 1,937 brace 



Their bag for the season was, grouse 5,778, black game 20, ptarmigan. 

 187, hares 107, wild duck 7, sundries 8, a grand total of 6,107 head.

 191 brace." The County Gentleman of .September 1, 1894, records that 

 he shot 222^ brace about the same time. This the gallant Colonel did, 

 shooting alone and no doubt over dogs, and probably with flint guns. 

 The big bag, however, was not made fairly, and a number of cheepers 

 were shot which were all counted. At the present time, with grouse
