| Summary: | gunning It constantly arises that the spot from whence the ducks are shot is, at least, ten feet perpendicular from the water; sportsmen provide themselves in such instances with what is termed a "gunning gaff," some twelve feet long, with an iron crook at the end, made in the shape of a shepherd's crook. The dog brings a duck at a time under the rock; you place the crook round its neck, and draw it up or land it. WK 114 PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit Used I and Sup Used I Used I |
