About the Book

This book is a comprehensive gamekeeping manual for those enthusiastic amateurs who spend their spare time running a small DIY syndicate shoot, and for those who are professionally employed on a full-time basis. It shows the reader how to perform all the tasks required of the modern gamekeeper, including how to rear and release game and advises on many aspects of habitat improvement and conservation. It also covers important and sometimes controversial issues, such as public access on private land, the need for predator and pest control, and many other aspects which need to be considered by keepers, be they part-time or professional. You'll discover important information about: - The gamekeeper's calendar - Rearing and releasing methods - Safe and sensible use of veterinary medicines - Legislation and the law - Health & safety requirements - How to become a qualified keeper and the training needed. Bang up to date, this book also incorporates fascinating and interesting snippets and pictures from the past in order to show how this most traditional of countryside occupations has evolved. 'Jeremy Hobson does much in this book to apprise us all of the modern approach to keepering, from raising birds and habitat management to choosing coats and boots and training dogs. It is all here, and a fascinating read it is - both for those in the know and those who are curious to learn all about it.' Alan Titchmarsh, patron of the National Gamekeeper's Organisation

About the Author :
Jeremy Hobson is the author of over 30 published books and a regular writer for many of the UK's field sports and rural-based magazines. Much of his published work is based on his experience of rural living and love of the countryside, but a great deal more is as result of his involvement in gamekeeping and shoot management for over three decades. The author of several books appertaining to shooting and gamekeeping, his first edition of this book, A Practical Guide to Modern Gamekeeping (2012, How To Books) has become a well-reviewed modern 'classic'. Jeremy lives in Hampshire and although nowadays a professional freelance author and writer, remains actively connected to the shooting world - not least through his position as host on a nearby sporting estate.

Review :
'Packed with how to do pages with lots of useful tips and supported by photographic illustration.' Keeping The Balance 'Bang up-to-date with all the latest innovations and the law in relation to game management. It covers just about everything for anyone who wants to become involved in gamekeeping. It is particularly useful for the person who is already a part-time keeper and who wants to learn more. An excellent present for anyone involved or interested in the countryside.' Go Game Shooting 'J C Jeremy Hobson includes the most important and up-to-date information, including public access to a private land and the need for predator control... an invaluable book for part-time and professional gamekeepers.'
