Excerpt from Stalks Abroad, Being Some Account of the Sport Obtained During a Two Years Tour of the World
The following pages give some account of the sporting side of a two years' tour round the world. Most of them were actually written in the various places and among the scenes which I have attempted to describe.
I have avoided technicalities as much as possible, though in some cases, particularly the chapters dealing with game reserves in British Columbia and the preservation of red deer in New Zealand, they were unavoidable. On the latter subject I have written at some length, as it is one of particular interest to deer-stalkers at home.
A book of personal experiences is bound, from its very nature, to be egotistical. I will ask the reader to believe that I have endeavoured to keep in the background as much as possible.
Some of the matter contained here has already appeared in the form of articles in Country Life. I am much indebted to the editor for his kind permission to reprint it.
