A recent iglish paper describe the method.

After one or two un acceaeful raids among the uvorite haunU of the w ild red deer about Hixty fine tt.iga and hind wire pursued serosa the royul deuiesne au.l driven into Craiibourue paddock, near the Flemish farm, where some of them w ere speedily caught in the net stretched across the iucloHiireaud secured by the huntsmen and park laborers. The strongest animals on being released from the toila were carefully placed in wooden cratiH and conveyed in the royal van aud carta to Kwinlcy pad docks, where they await the opening of the hunting m ason." After reading thia description we no longer wonder that there is u society in Kuglaud w hich devotea jtself to creating sentiment against hunting with the buckhouiids, but we do wonder that the F.uglisli aro no alow to apprehend how utterly in human mid farcical it is to cull a round up of tame deer hunting.
