DRIVING, among sportsmen, a method of taking pheasant-poults. It is thus: the sportsman finds out the haunts of these birds; and having fixed his nets there, he calls them together by a pheasant-call, imitating the voice of the dam: after this he makes a noise with his driver, which will make them run a little way forward in a cluster; and this he is to repeat till he has made sure of them, which an expert sportsman never fails to do, by driving them into his nets.
