Excerpt from A Gamekeeper's Note-Book
The vermin bag has an honourable place in these notes - year by year the keeper may set down precisely how many malefactors (and others) have fallen to his gun and traps. It is a record in which he takes almost as much pride as in his daily and yearly lists of game; the grand total of a good season for game or vermin lingers for ever on his lips. The date of a shoot, the beat, the number and names 'of the guns, and what luck befell them.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book shares a treasure trove of anecdotal observations, traditions, tips, and nature lore of traditional gamekeepers, gleaned from a collective half a century of their experiences managing woodland estates. The author paints a vivid picture of the gamekeeper's life and work, a role steeped in rich tradition and expert knowledge, at a time when much of their timeless wisdom was on the cusp of being lost. The book takes readers on an evocative and immersive journey alongside the gamekeeper through twelve months in the woods: an existence largely unchanged for centuries. From woodland management to vermin control, from the rearing of pheasants to their protection from poachers, we are taken on an enlightening adventure into the unique world of the gamekeeper. This book will be an invaluable guide for fellow keepers, a fascinating insight for country-lovers and a reminder of a disappearing rural way of life.
