"Super Slam" and "Life at full draw" Chuck Adams,incredible books from a guy who has taken grizzly bear,polar bear,Musk Ox,and the whole gamut of north american big game animals with a bow,not lurcher books but damned good reads.

agree with above post another cracking book.

 

Has anyone else read "The Sett" a novel based on true characters by Ranulph Fiennes?

 

Cheers, D.

 

Yes mate, I have it here. Certainly some of it is true, I knew one of it's characters quite well but it paints a very dark picture of terriermen. As the book moves off this subject I enjoyed the read more.

 

Yes me too mate if your talking about PB. Some of it I KNOW is ballocks but your right about the book.

 

Cheers, D.

you know what I enjoyed plummers tales

I think the statistic was that at one period of time his books were the most stolen from british public libraries I have one of the misprinted "Modern Ferretting" originals,only a small number were churned out before someone proof-read and spotted the spelling mistake.Like him or loathe him he certainly carved a niche for himself and has anyone since been more prolific?
