Produktbeschreibung
"This lively and informative book looks at the natural history, the populations, the movements and the behaviour of wild duck, in order to help the sports- man to better understand his quarry. In no-nonsense prose, Douglas Butler shares the knowledge and experience of a lifetime of interest in ducks and in hunting them, with a European and US perspective. Wildfowling is a sport for the dedicated: it takes place at dawn and dusk in the depths of winter; it is a largely solitary pursuit (a working dog is often the only companion) and it requires knowledge of each species (for identification purposes) often in poor light and bad weather. This is the only book to focus exclusively on duck shooting and it will appeal to ornithologists, conservationists and those who shoot duck."

Autorenporträt
"Douglas Butler, a Doctor of Zoology, teaches science at Tipperary's Rockwell College. In his book, Rough Shooting in Ireland, he writes with forthright enthusiasm about days with friends at local rough shoots: the gundogs, the approach to the different species, the behaviour of the birds, the hunting methods, predator control, habitat maintenance - all coloured by his lively interest in the history of Irish game shooting and his modern specialist knowledge of the quarry. He lives in Country Tipperary with his wife Margaret, and their family."
