For the committed sportsman, Rough Shooting in Ireland is essential reading. It presents an encyclopaedic knowledge of the sport, the birds and the strategy to ensure a great day of enjoyment. The wonder of this sport vibrates throughout this publication. This book makes a very positive contribution to understanding and appreciating this wholesome pursuit. --Joe Rea, Irish Farmers Journal

Douglas Butler has written what can accurately be described as the most comprehensive and authoritative account of contemporary Irish game shooting. The text should adorn the bookshelf of all those with a passion for game shooting, the natural world and Irish countryside. Passion for the sport of game shooting shines through on every page. --Anthony O Halloran, South Tipperary Today

This well-illustrated book is the product of one man s life-time preoccupation with preserving game stocks out of season and reducing the same stock in season. For anyone with even a passing interest in wildfowling and there are some 150,000 licensed hunting guns in the state Rough Shooting in Ireland will go admirably with the port. --Seamus Leahy, Sunday Business Post

Reseña del editor:

Douglas Butler is well-informed about the state of rough shooting in ireland, and well-practised in the techniques. As well as sharing his knowledge, he caputres vividly the pleasures of rough shooting in rural Ireland: the camaraderie of the shooting party, the joys of days spent tramping across unspoilt countryside in search of game in the company of pointers, springers and setters, and the thrills of the hunt. This informative book opens with a fascinating historical backgorund to the sport, and ends with robust views about how it should be controlled and safeguarded for the future.
