Pictorial laminated boards, issued without a dust-wrapper. Fine unread copy. Updated edition of this useful publication. Includes detailed information on the legalities of trapping, poisoning and shooting vermin species, correct at the time of going to press (January 2005). "The fundamental aim of any shoot is to produce enough game to allow some to be harvested. Since the game itself, of whichever species, is a prey of other animals, it follows that control of predation is an important part of the game conservation package. At the same time it is important to recognise that success may not be directly related to how many predators are killed. In the final analysis it is the response of the game population to control which counts. The aim of this guide is to show how to control predation in a way which maximises game survival, while still recognising the conservation needs of the predator species." A very well-thought of book.
