To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These decoys are fastened to play-sticks, upon which they are worked by means of lines held by the fowler, in the same way as any small birds. The best month for catching these birds in Eussia is August, for they gather into flocks for migration in that month, and are also very fat. It does not appear that Wood Pigeons were ever extensively netted in Great Britain. Our forefathers caught them in considerable numbers by setting limed twigs on the ground around live or dead decoys. The old-fashio...ned ruse of driving an extemporised skewer into the breast of a Wood Pigeon, and setting it up as a decoy in a field of newly-sown barley, will at any time afford a modern gunner a modicum of amusement. I have known a Perthshire farmer shoot from thirty to forty " Cushie Doos " in the course of a single forenoon by adopting this simple expedient. Markham says that Wood Pigeons can be taken at night with the bat-folding net. Belon entertains us with a description of night-fowling for Wood Pigeons in France, which he styles " Chavari." This sport is carried out by a party of men on a dark night.
