Arthur Cadman ".distils his years of experience of shooting over every kind of rough ground. An authority on British deer and wildfowl, Mr Cadman stresses the need for conservation of both game and habitat. He covers all the wildfowl and game to be found in Britain, describes their behaviour and favourite haunts - whether moors, low ground or marsh - and presents the topography of the perfect rough shoot, giving due importance to the co-operation of local gamekeepers. A good dog is, of course, a key factor and, while going along with individual preferences for certain breeds, he elaborates on essential qualities to be brought out in training. The conditions that affect scent, enabling dogs to give their best, are explained, and the too often neglected subject of gathering wounded gameis looked at in some detail." Chapters include:- The moorland rough shoot: heather management; The moorland rough shoot: grouse behaviour, blackgame, capercaillie; The low ground shoot: partridge, pheasant, woodcock; Marsh and wildfowl; Deer on the rough shoot; The rough shooter's dog; Gathering wounded game; Vermin control; The young shot: squirrels, rabbits, hares, pigeons; Equipment and camouflage; Some anecdotes. .
