This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXII THE DEEE (CERVW&) The deer has always been the game par excellence of the hunter. There is no animal more generally distributed throughout the "world, therefore it has been, and still remains, the general attraction, as it is usually within reach of the hunter in all wild countries where it is not specially preserved. There is no animal which exhibits the necessity of preservation by game-laws more forcibly than the deer. In Scotland, where preservation has afforded a sanctuary by the strict observance of a close-time, we see an immense increase of numbers, although the conditions of the Highlands have entirely changed since the destruction of forests, .which originally gave shelter to the red-deer. In mediaeval times the shelter of vast areas of woods exerted a corresponding influence in the development of the animals. Shrubs, grasses, and various plants throve within the woods; these afforded nourishment to the animals during winter. At the same time, they were protected from the driving winds by their dense retreat, instead of being exposed, as they now are, to the fury of every winter's gale. The effect of misery has been seen in the deterioration of the animal. The deer exhibits in its horns the ratio of its vigour. If the animal has been well nurtured, and protected from its birth, never unduly exposed to privations, but sheltered and well fed through every season, it will develop antlers superior in length and solidity, and it will increase in weight. The red-deer of Scotland cannot be compared, either in size or antlers, with those of Central Europe, whieh exist in large forests, and live a life of undisturbed seclusion. Those which have been starved by exposure to cold and winter famine have naturally fallen off and...

Excerpt from Wild Beasts and Their Ways, Vol. 1: Reminiscences of Europe, Asia, Africa and America Many years have passed since the love of sport and natural history influenced my early life; thank God, I cannot yet exclaim, The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak, although increasing years have weighted the activity which in youth was the charm of a hunter's being. The only advantage which years possess is the long experience of the past, as theories which were uncertain have been proved by facts. When a title is worded Wild Beasts and their Ways, it may be inferred that the wild beasts are to be killed, and that we must thoroughly understand their ways before we can undertake the killing; this will involve a practical Study of natural history in the most interesting form.

Excerpt from Wild Beasts and Their Ways: Reminiscences of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America Forty years ago our troops were armed with a smooth-bore musket, and a small force known as the "Rifle Brigade" was the exception to this rule. The military rifle carried a spherical bullet, and, like all others of the period, it necessitated the use of a mallet to strike the ball, which, being a size larger than the bore, required the blow to force it into the rifling of the barrel in order to catch the grooves. Sporting rifles were of various sizes, but they were constructed upon a principle generally accepted, that extreme accuracy could only be obtained by burning a very small charge of powder. The outfit required a small mallet made of hardwood faced with thick buff leather, a powerful loading-rod, a powder-flask, a pouch to contain greased linen or silk patches; another pouch for percussion caps; a third pouch for bullets. In addition to this cumbersome arrangement, a nipple-screw was carried, lest any stoppage might render necessary the extraction of the nipple. The charge of powder in ordinary use for a No.16 bore (which carried an ounce spherical ball) was 1 1/2 dram, and the sights were adjusted for a maximum range of 200 yards. Although at this distance considerable accuracy could be attained at the target upon a quiet day, it was difficult to shoot with any precision at an unmeasured range owing to the high trajectory of the bullet. Thus for sporting purposes it was absolutely essential that the hunter should be a first-rate judge of distance in order to adjust the sights as required by the occasion. It was accordingly rare to meet with a good rifle-shot fifty years ago. Rifle-shooting was not the amusement sought by Englishmen, although in Switzerland and Germany it was the ordinary pastime.
