Similar book which is an exceptional read is A sporting chance by an author called Dan Marnnix who used to perform as a circus fire eater and magician under the name Grest Zadma,he was an author of note but a sporting chance has boomerang hunting,coursing with cheetah,ferreting,falconry,ferreting etc.

Every time i used to go to the libary with the old man as a nipper i would always get this book out to read i have to admit it was the first book that got me interested in hunting especially the chapter on ratting. What year was it first published mate.

First published in 1967,I saw it in a library in the late 1970’s and nicked it (I found out a few years ago Sir Trevor Mcdonald used to nick library books as a kid so feel no guilt).

Such a good book,my favourite chapters were the ones on blowgun hunting and boomeranging (is it a word?It is now)ducks.
