Free trapping e-book.

Hello all. I’ve found this free trapping e-book and I thought it would be worth you look. Don’t take every thing you read in it seriously and allot of the methods shown in this e-book are highly illegal but its still worth a look. atb bedrock

Thank you for this. Hours worth of reading. Shall hide away and enjoy later.

I have just bought a first edition hard back copy of this old book - it is full of great old tips and traps

 

And since the e-book is free it is even better, eh?

That book really is an interesting read. I first discovered it a couple of years ago and was so impressed I started to stock it. You can buy reprints relatively cheaply but make sure you get an illustrated version - without pictures it's nothing.

 

From this page http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/17093 you can down load a copy so you can read it off line. Download the HTML thought as the plain text has no pics.

 

 

Another interesting book available free on line is 'With Nature and a Camera' by Richard Kearton available HERE

 

Chapters IV, VIII and IX are a particularly fascinating as an insight into the old methods:

 

Chapter IV. Gamekeepers: their friends and foes

Chapter VIII. How cage birds are caught: a day on Brighton Downs

Chapter IX. The art of duck-decoying
