Gaoler 83 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Not even sure if this is the right forum for this post, sorry if it isn’t. Just finished a couple of cracking books from a modern day country man, Brian Plummer (Dr David Brian Plummer, full title) the 2 books I have recently read are In Pursuit of Coney and The Adventures of an Artisan Hunter, although not related to air rifles they give a good insight into the countryside and life style most of us like. Winters coming, dark nights, TV is c**p at the moment, a tot of whiskey helps me read better too! Quote Link to post

Gaoler 83 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Probably my ignorance but I find them a decent read, especially with the oncoming dark nights, feet up, fire on, and a shot of decent malt whisky. Can anyone recommend any other decent books of the same ilk? Quote Link to post

tatsblisters 7,915 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Still enjoy picking my first edition up of rogues and running dogs and having a read .I remember at the time the book ruffeld a few feathers amongst the keeper and shooting fraternity as he dedicated the book to poachers. 1 Quote Link to post

Bosun11 537 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 When did Plummer ever hold the title of Doctor?? He was a teacher from Walsall. Anyway, bullshit or not, i still rate his early books. Quote Link to post
