To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When found on the open grounds and meadows, it is easy enough to shoot woodcocks ; but it is quite another afiair in the high woods and thickets, as they rise, not unfrequently, in an almost spiral, perpendicular direction, twisting and turning with such rapidity that they gain the tops of the trees and dart off before they can be fully covered even with the sharpest eye and readiest hand.
FIRE-HUNTING OF COCKS.
There is a mode of taking woodcocks in Louisiana, which is practised, perhaps, in n...o other section of the country ; it is termed "fire-hunting," and was, no doubt, introduced by the French population of those parts. A full description of this sport, from the graphic pen of T. B. Thorpe, Esq., will be found in Porter's 234 LEAVIS'S AMERICAN SPORTSMAN.
republication of "Hawker." Fire-hunting is almost entirely con- fined to a narrow strip of country running from the mouth of the Mississippi up the river about three hundred miles. Woodcocks resort in great numbers to the interminable swamps of this region, and, according to Thorpe, even remain in these solitudes during the spring and summer months, to breed and rear their young.
