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. - Foreword

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'.
