A year in the woods, robert bucknalls foxing books and the lee reloading manual for starters

The gamekeeper by Barry Hines ain't a bad read but I'm biased it's written about a good friend of mine the wood belong to me is good as well as a hundred years in the highlands , I like old school stuff

+1 for the gamekeeper

Another on foxing is Fox Control by Sean Frain
Muntjac Managing an Alien Speicies by Charles Smith-Jones
Deer-Sporting Answers Richard Prior

I read the gamekeeper at 14 or 15......That book is the reason my first job from school was keepering

 

[jimbo1984]

Barry Hines was a school friend of his he wrote the book when he came to live with Trevor and his family when he was keepering in the mid sixties on the wentworth estate , way before kes I believe , trev was the bloke who took me ferreting when I was6 and I've been hooked since

We hijacked the thread sorry to OP Ive just dug out my copy must be 30 years olds now....Going to read it again...Tell Trevor thank you from me, ive read it 4 or 5 times over the years and always enjoy it....I always liked the thought the keeper was out there somewhere, cussing his dogs and working his ferrets

I sure will mate I'll see him tommorow , I take his terriers for walks when he's not feeling up to it , and yes himcussing his dogs is about right lol but I sit for hours listening to him and his stories of when he was ad when wildfowling with Kenzie Thorpe , they don't make men like him anymore ! I'll be ferreting with him this winter again

Marine Sniper by Charles Henderson

[Caberhill]

Following the roe by Frank Holms is a fantastic book on Roe. Really worth it.

I've also got whites encyclopaedia of deer, which is a great big coffee table book good for a odd thumb through - pricey though...

 

[FreshFace]

Handloading for Competition: Making the Target Bigger by Glen Zediker

Wild Fox by Roger Burrows

Paddy's book is on my Christmas wish list
