HOW TO TRAP AND SNARE A COMPLETE MANUAL FOR THE SPORTSMAN, GAME
PRESERVER, AND AMATEUR ON THE ART OF TAKING ANIMALS AND BIRDS IN TRAPS,
SNARES AND NETS WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS BY WILLIAM CARNEGIE
("MOORMAN") "This manual is intended to provide as much
practical insight into the various modes of trapping, snaring, and
netting the animals and birds of the British Isles as can be furnished
by writing. Whenever possible and desirable, such insight is given of
the haunts and habitats of the creatures to be caught as may prove
useful to the amateur or tyro, for whom it is more particularly planned,
than for the professional. Every piece of work, device, trap, snare, or
net described has been performed, employed, or made by the author, and
it is hoped that the experience gained during many years may prove of
advantage to others who may be induced to follow the Art of the Trapper,
either for pastime or profit" William Carnegie, 1880. Originally
published at the turn of the century, this extremely rare book has been
reprinted in a high-quality hardback edition by Read Country Books. It
is a complete and detailed treatise on the art of trapping, snaring and
netting, written by a master of the craft and extensively illustrated
throughout. Never before reprinted, this unique work is packed with
information that is still of great practical value to the sporting man
today. 224 pages + 8 pages of original adverts. CHAPTER I. - The Dorset
