The fowling in olden times was a great pastime as birds were very plentiful. The guns at that time were muzzleloaders and were very dangerous. The licence of a gun at that time was only ten shillings per year. You could not shoot game birds with ten schilling licence as the game licence was three pounds. Now all gun licences are two pounds and you can shoot game birds with it. At present there is a great scarcity of birds owning to hawks, magpies, and scare crows becoming so plentiful.

He would wave a long sally rod in and out through each sqaure.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)- Bailitheoir
