Advice from a Gamekeeper by John Cowan

John Cowan is headkeeper on a large Scottish estate, and has worked as a gamekeeper all his life.

In this new book, he passes on everything he knows about the profession he loves. The book is crammed with fascinating practical advice – but it is also a very entertaining read for anyone interested in the day-to-day challenges and joys of running a busy sporting estate.

It can be read for its countless tips and gamekeeping wisdom, or simply for pleasure, for the unique insight into the hard-working but rewarding life of the modern gamekeeper. With informative drawings of traps and snares by Roger Penwill and classic wildlife illustrations from C.F. Tunnicliffe.
