dog-draw: one of the four causes for which a man may be arrested as a deer-stealer, he being found leading a hound who is pursuing a deer by scent. "Where any man hath stiken or wounded a wild beast by shooting at him, either with crosse bow or long bow, and is found with a hound or other dogge drawing after him to recover the same; this the old forresters do call dogge-draw."
