way of killing deer. For my own part, I prefer my rifle, with 

 a good dog. A high-bred English smooth greyhound some- 

 times kills red deer well and cleverly, having the advantage in 

 wind and speed over the rough dogs, and also possessing the 

 most dashing courage when in pursuit of game. It wants 

 weight, however, to enable it to pull down so large an ani- 

 mal as a stag ; though I have seen a small greyhound tumble 

 over a deer, and kill it very quickly, by catching the animal 

 under the shoulder, when in full speed, which at once upset him, 

 and then flying at the throat, he soon finished the business.
