The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Sportsman by Xenophon: about with this one hound.[12] As soon as she has got on the boar's
track, let them follow in order, one after another, close on the
tracking hound, who gives the lead to the whole company.[13] Even to
the huntsmen themselves many a mark of the creature will be plain,
such as his footprints on soft portions of the ground, and in the
thick undergrowth of forests broken twigs; and, where there are single
trees, the scars made by his tusks.[14] As she follows up the trail
the hound will, as a general rule, finally arrive at some well-wooded
spot; since, as a general rule, the boar lies ensconced in places of
the sort, that are warm in winter and cool in summer.
