Well now, here is an interesting situation. I find myself legally shooting animals, but reading books on poaching. Well, am I inspired to poach? Nope. But I am certainly inspired to get a ferret (even though they smell and the wife wouldn't let me).

If you're pretty new to catching game, regardless of which F it is (Fur, Feather, or Fin) this book will give you ideas that you'd not thought about.

Do not think it is a comprehensive guide. It is simply a beautifully written book with brilliantly detailed nuggets of information 'hidden' inside.

If, however, you are not new to catching game, I promise you this is still an enjoyable read and will really give you many ideas. Because you already hunt, you will appreciate this book more.

In a 1-10 rating, I easily give it a 9.

Get it, read it, thank me later.
I knew someone that kept ferrets and they smell a lot less than dogs.

All you have to do is keep their cage clean. He kept his as pets as well as hunt.
I have a copy and it's a very nice read about a time long gone. Also there are lots of tips and tricks, here's a review:
