352 Foreign Game 



an exceptionally good shot, he will experience no 

 difficulty in finding men quite capable of taking 

 his measure either at the traps or in the field. 

 While the best all-around shots I have ever seen 

 certainly have been American professionals and 

 market-hunters, some of the deadliest performers 

 in the field here, or anywhere, are British ama- 

 teurs who learned their art in the school of the 

 pheasant, red grouse, partridge, cock, and snipe. 



It has been my pleasant task to introduce 

 more than a few Britons to the joys of Bob-white 

 shooting, and I frankly admit that some of those 

 same " raw 'uns " tied my stockings a leetle tighter 

 than was good for the circulation. Furthermore, 

 the real British sportsman is a glutton for hard 

 work, a walker from Walkerville, and, usually, 

 both a good judge and handler of dogs.
