CHAPTER X THE DEER AND THE HOUND No plantation really looks natural unless there are deer-hounds loafing on the premises; and among the most exciting game trails in Southern hunting are those found and followed by these same faithful allies of the sportsman. A word of explanation, which is, however, distinctly not one of apology, is perhaps necessary in writing about the deer and the hound. The reason is because in many States the use of dogs in deer-hunting is strictly prohibited by law. I am sure, however, that such a law is not to be interpreted as denouncing as barbarous the use of hounds, but is rather to be considered merely as a measure for the preservation of game.
