Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Originally published in London 1906. William Carnegie was a well known sportsman of the late 1800's with a vast knowledge of gamekeeping and vermin control. He wrote several books on trapping and many articles for the sporting press of that era. The contents of this book include: The Gamekeeper; His Rights and Duties - Ground Vermin - The Polecat - The Stoat - The Weasel - The Capture of Polecats, Stoats, and Weasels - The General Details of Vermin Trapping - Poaching Cats - Rats - The Hedgehog - Winged Vermin - Ravens - Crows - Jackdaws - Magpies and Jays - Hawks and Owls . The book is well illustrated with pictures of various animal and bird traps with instructions for use and manufacture. Many of the earliest books on field sports, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
