Where game is plentiful, a wide-ranging dog 
must necessarily become a close ranger, because 
here the game stops him; it is high courage and 
anxiety to find game that causes him to range 
wide. <A wide-ranging «og, too, saves you a 
great deal of walking. Every shooting man 
knows that he may occasionally tramp over two 
or three miles without coming across anything; 
here it is, then, that a wide-ranging dog is of 
greater utility than a close ranger.”
