Stabs 3 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I think there are some really good fieldsports writers about today and compared to times past, we are really spoilt rotten. Pick up the last few editions of EDRD and there's Dooley, Welsh All Black, Dave Harcombe, Suffolk Bill, Colin Didrikson, Mark Brennan, Chris Breen and that Southern Belle has written a couple of entertaining ones. And there's still new writers coming through all of the time...plenty of lads off here have written for that mag, some very recently. Look at the books that have come out in the last half a dozen years....Lloyd, Dooley, Darcy, Harcombe, Didrikson.....some absolute classics that will stand the test of time. More power to your elbows chaps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bedrock 16 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Ive got his rabbiting book here if anyone wants it they can have it for the price of postage. Personally I think his books are shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
