"The value of Major Pollard's book, is that he tells those of us who do not know, and those of us who may think we do know, almost everything that need be told about the business, as well as the pleasure, of shooting. If you want to know how to set about taking a shoot, great or small; if you want to know the history and the habits and the variations of the game that you mean to shoot; if you want to know how to rear pheasants, how to feed the chicks on the rearing field, how to look after the poults after they have been put out in the wood, how to manage a day's shoot so as to bring the grown birds over the guns in the best possible manner; how to keep down the always-increasing cost of running a shoot - if you want to know all of these things and many others, you could not possibly do better than read this book, and never let it off your shelf so long as you retain an interest in any of these things". (From the introduction by Guy Pollock). Chapters include:- The choice of a shoot; The gun and ammunition; Pheasants; Partridges; Grouse, black game, capercailzie, ptarmigan; Snipe and woodcock; Duck; Ground game; Vermin; The diseases of game birds; Some notes on the rearing of pheasants; The cookery of game.
