were the only live animals seen. Francolin were of course met
with in out of the way places in fair quantities, but they afforded
but little sport, refusing to rise. The inhabitants, hardy moun
taineers and idle at all times, are invariably scouring the hills in
search of anything that will give an excuse for a shot in season
and out of season. Males, females and young, whatever has life
is hunted down and shot. If the quarry escapes the guns of one
valley, it will assuredly sooner or later fall to those in the next.
Stalked from every side, and not recognising the demarcation laid
down by man, a wounded bird is frequently the cause of a hunter’s
quarrel, the commencement perhaps of a tribal feud. No wonder
then that sport is a matter more of tradition than fact.
