DRAW-Net, a kind of net for taking the larger sort of wildfowl, which ought to be made of the best sort of packthread, with wide meshes; they should be about two fathoms deep and six long, verged on each side with a very strong cord, and stretched at each end on long poles. It should be spread smooth and flat upon the ground; and strewed over with grass, sedge, or the like to hide it from the fowl; and the sportsman is to place himself in some shelter of grass, fern, or some such thing.
