Ce livre historique peut contenir de nombreuses coquilles et du texte manquant. Les acheteurs peuvent generalement telecharger une copie gratuite scannee du livre original (sans les coquilles) aupres de l'editeur. Non reference. Non illustre. 1880 edition. Extrait: ...I just caught sight of "Grande Chasse," in tremendous letters, and drew near with alacrity. The bill ran thus: "Bio Shoot" (free translation for above title) "at coots, on Wednesday, the--November, over the 'broad' of--. Price of admission 5 francs. Millions of coots are on the broad. The big shoot to take place, weather permitting, &c... Apply to the lessee of the fishing, Mr. de la Maereuse, a la Grenoillicre, near Montpellier, &c..." Naturally enough, at once I thought it would be very great fun, but how the thing was to be managed I had not the slightest idea. We, however, went back directly to our hotel, and there the whole affair was fully explained to us. It appears that this great shoot takes place once or twice (but generally only once) a year, over every one of the large ponds or lakes abounding in the neighbourhood, where the birds choose to congregate by tens of thousands. For the occasion all available boats are mustered, and the army of flat-bottomed pants which then turns up on the scene of action is something enormous. Of course, that is a great day for the boatmen, who generally make their own terms. It is usual to have two oarsmen for each punt, and only one shooter, who sits in the stern sheets. The terms vary, but it can safely be said that half a sovereign will cover the whole expense for the day. "You will readily understand," the hotel keeper told us, "that a great deal depends on the craft one gets, and the boatmen that are engaged; and, if you are inclined to join in the fun, I would advise you to lose no time, but go at once and secure all you want, otherwise you might find yourself condemned to a miserable old tub, or else a negafol." "What is a negafol V...

Originally published in 1859, this scarce early work on Wildfowling in all its various forms, is both expensive and hard to find in any edition. We have now republished the third and best edition of 1875, using the original text and engravings. The author was an acknowledged expert in the art of wildfowling, and this book is probably the best researched and most descriptive early title on this increasingly popular field sport. It ranks among the highest class of sporting literature. The book's substantial four hundred and thirty six pages contain numerous comprehensive chapters, including: Fowling; Ancient Methods; History of Decoys (nine chapters); Decoy Ducks; The Flight Pond; Wild Fowl Shooting; The Fowler's Dog; Language of Wild Fowl; Flight of Wild Fowl; The Gunning Punt; Punt Guns; Management of the Punt Gun; Punting by Daylight; The Sailing Punt; Night Punting; Goose Shooting; The Quarry (20 detailed chapters); Wild Swan Shooting; Shooting Yachts, Boats and Canoes; The Cripple Chase; Wild Duck Shooting; Coastal Shooting; Fenland Shooting; Methods of Capturing Woodcock; Laws Affecting Wild Fowl; Fowling Abroad (11 chapters); Rock Fowling in The Shetlands, Orkney and St. Kilda; Wildfowling Ashore by Night; Snipe and Woodcock Shooting; Etc, etc. The contents are nicely illustrated with full page steel engravings and several wood-cuts. This is a fascinating read for any dedicated shooting man, fowler, or historian of the sport, but also contains much information that is still useful and practical today.

The involvement of humans with ducks, geese and swans has probably been closer than with any other group of birds, today and for several millenia past. This involvement, in its many aspects, is the theme of this compelling and readable account by an Assistant Director of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. Dr Kear ranges widely, from a summary of the taxonomy and natural history of wildfowl, through a history of domestication world wide, to wildfowling, decoys, conservation and captive breeding, conflicts with agriculture, and wildfowl in legend and literature. Throughout, the text abounds with little-known facts and insights to intrigue the general reader and expert alike - a reflection of the author's wide reading and affection for her subject. Jacket illustrations by Joe Blossom.
