Breeding wild DncLs-

A new feature in Scotland this year
that promises well for the future Au-
gust sport there is the breeding OF wild
ducks. A driven wild duck presents as
difficult a shot to the crack gunner as

more certainly driven over the guns
from6a hill loch than from the low
lying lakes in the English counties.
where that branch of sport has hither-
to been most successfully introduced
