Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This practical guide to pheasant preservation was written by a landed and practicing gamekeeper in the late 19th century amidst significant changes in agricultural practices and the rise of shooting as a sport for leisure. The author draws on experience, describing methods he found effective in establishing and maintaining stocks of game birds. His approach centres on creating diverse habitats to improve survival rates, breeding birds on the estate to mimic natural conditions and protect them from poachers, supplemented by hand-rearing techniques when necessary. The author also strongly advocates against the artificial feeding of hen pheasants, a practice that could make birds dependent on humans and less able to thrive in the wild. His ideas and initiatives helped to sustain pheasant numbers and improve sporting opportunities for landowners and their guests as the natural landscape changed and the birds came under increased threat.
