"Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Pennines, Catlow's shooting diary records his year as an amateur pheasant rearer, gamekeeper, forester, dog-handler and all-round shooting enthusiast. But he also records his thoughts as he goes around his small shoot: his views on the right to roam, on why he loves the birds he shoots, his wine cellar, his other sporting interests. He airs his opinions on subjects as diverse as sport and the nanny state, game cookery, friendship, disobedient dogs and beloved hats. Interspersed with pheasant shooting are magical evenings duck flighting and expeditions rabbit shooting. He controls vermin such as mink, crows and foxes - all familiar activities to those who run small shoots. Catlow is shooting's most articulate exponent and this is an intelligent, funny and thought-provoking book."
"Laurence Catlow teaches classics at Sedbergh School in Cumbria. He also writes for various magazines, including Trout & Salmon and Shooting Times. He fishes on the Wharfe, the Eden, Driffield Beck and on the small upland brook that runs through his land. With equal enthusiasm, he also shoots pheasant and wildfowl, accompanied by friends and his gundogs. Other pleasures include food, wine, ornithology, religion and the sport of fives."
