Running Your Own Shoot

Running Your Own Shoot is essential for anyone who is contemplating setting up a private shoot. The creation of a shoot adds to the pleasure of shooting and brings it within reach of those without a fortune to spend on the sport. In this book all aspects of shoot management are examined, from calculation of the realistic costs, finding suitable ground, organising a shooting syndicate to planning a shooting day. Other vital issues that are discussed are rearing and releasing game, vermin control and habitat management. The book makes you fully aware of the day to day hard work involved, but also highlights the satisfaction that can be gained from running your own shoot. In this second edition, David Hudson has fully revised the text to take into account new regulations and practices. Running Your Own Shoot is an indispensable guide for anyone contemplating doing so. AUTHOR: David Hudson divides his time between writing and photography, keepering a pheasant shoot and a partridge shoot, and training working gundogs. In his spare time he shoots, stalks and fishes. He has written seven other books for Swan Hill Press: The Roughshooter's Handbook, The Shooting Man's Dog, The Working Labrador, The Small Shoot, Working Pointers and Setters, Pheasant Shooting and Gamekeeping. colour illustrations
