Critics Review
‘Updated to take in recent legislation, this is the book that every novice stalker should read. The wisdom accumulated over many years both on the hill and in woodland is distilled into a deceptively slim volume. Clear, concise and comprehensive, it covers every aspect of the sport without becoming bogged down in needless detail. It is essential reading for anyone contemplating taking DSC1.’ * Shooting & Conservation *
‘The book is invaluable for the novice hunter. Consider the text a solid primer in deer hunting that comprehensively covers all aspects of the hunt, from rifle selection and tracking a shot deer to cooking the venison. It is an accomplished hunting book written in a concise ‘matter of fact’ manner. The author has the utmost respect for the quarry and possesses an unrivalled knowledge on the subject matter.’ * Pursuit International *
