How and when did the medieval "coney" turn into the modern "rabbit"? Where does "capercailzie" come from? A "bender" is not what hunters go on to celebrate, and "buck fever" attacks the hunter, not the deer. What is the "anal tush" of the roe deer? This book provides etymology, definition and examples of words associated with the fauna, (chased and chasers), country lore and implements of field sports.
