Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
But, studying present day experience, it appears that the love of shooting has not been so strong with women, except, perhaps, in the more open lands.
Where hounds have led to the hunt ladies mounted have ridden side by side with gentlemen in the chase; but this number has been, of course, limited.
As a rule, when man has shouldered his gun, and gone forth at dawn on his way to a rabbit hunt, or, in quest of game birds, he has not had a Diana comradeship.
Whether the reason for this has been that the twentieth century woman is lacking in sportsmanship; or, that she is perhaps gun-shy; or, that she has been debarred by custom and lack of Opportunity from participation in the sport, is an Open question.
That the call of the shoot has been more insistent in man than in woman is evident, because prevented by circumstances from its enjoy ment, man has made for himself the opportunity.
During the last decade or two, the traps have taken, to a large extent, the place of the law hampered, business-forbidding, and regret-bringing chase.
It has been necessary for man to adapt his sport to the time demands of competitive business. -he has been forced to crowd his recreation into after-business hours.
Long hunting trips, except on rare occasions, have become im practicable - yet the innate love of the shoot has remained.
The logical answer has been - the traps.
