As the punt
As the punt and canoe, previously treated on, are used most frequently for night shooting, which, as I before observed, is chiefly at the wigeon (or birds of similar habits, that join them in hard weather), I cannot, I trust, class the subject better than by concluding, under this head, with what further remarks may be useful as to wigeon, and reserve those for hoopers, geese, and curres till after we have taken up our heavy artillery, without which but little can be done with these, or any other birds that are commonly killed by day.
WEATHER.— Fog, snow, or any other hazy weather, is very bad, as it makes every thing on the water appear large and black, and then it is that these birds (and indeed all others) soon take alarm. The novice fancies just the re¬verse ! Fog in the fens and marshes, however, is sometimes the best jimmy choo uggs weather, although quite the jimmy choo shoes reverse on the sea.
Bright starlight is the very best of all times for getting at birds, as the tide flows over the mud; particularly if there is a little breeze, without wind enough to blacken the shallow water. If a cold black frost, so much the better.
Even in moonlight, wigeon are easier ap¬proached than in hazy weather. In white frosts wigeon are often restless. In rain they are constantly flying and pitching. In very dark weather they MBT are suspicious, and more on the watch than in MBT Shoes Clearance starlight; but, if the wind blows fresh enough to drown the noise of a launching- punt, some " heavy shots" may now and then be made, by sweeping the surface of the mud to the sound of where the flock is walking and feeding. This may sometimes be within thirty yards of the " launcher In MBT Shoes mild weather, wi¬geon are generally scattered about, like rooks, till after midnight, unless they become concen¬trated by the flow of the surrounding tide. But in cold weather they sit thick together.
The first night or jimmy choo two of thaw, after a sharp frost, is the best opportunity for this sport.
