- Depiction: Buck-hunting, as a figurative sport, seems, if we may believe the print, to be attended with certain difficulties. An antiquated gentleman, who in the present case seems to be the hunter, is brought up abruptly, in full view of the quarry, by a river, which he has no apparent means of crossing. The game in view, a military buck, is "run to ground" in a summer-house, on the opposite side of the water, where, in spite of a warning board about Man-Traps, he is visibly poaching on the hunter's preserves.
