masmiffy 82 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Fred was a very knowlegable countryman. The books a good insight. Did meet him at a game fair once and he always had time for a chat. Manged to call him many years ago when one of my ferrets was ill. He diagnosed over the phone and his 'remedy' worked, saved the jills life!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OldTrapCollector 377 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I have a lot of time for Fred and I used to cut out and keep all of his articles in the Shooting Times years ago - I still have them somewhere too - and have met him a few times in the past for a chat, but, I have to say I was a little disappointed by this latest book. It doesn't seem to have the depth that his other books have had and is ok for a light evening read but not to get engrossed in or fascinated by. That's my own personal opinion.
