Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hunting Reflections These short chapters on some phases of hunting are a reprint of articles written for "Game and Gun." Having been written at intervals, and without any idea of subsequent collection in book form, must be their excuse for their lack of continuity. This does not pretend to be anything like a complete manual of the sport and are merely reflections that occurred to me at the time. Although meant chiefly as a little assistance to beginners at the game, experts might find some of the ideas worth their consideration. Hunting is an absorbing subject and the last word on it will never be written, so that even this modest contribution may provide something for discussion. When two or three enthusiasts are gathered together many pleasant hours can be spent in exchanging ideas on hounds and hunting. Foxhunting is the main theme in these pages, but an article "The Beagle and the Hare" was written at the same period, and has therefore been included. However, very many of the most successful amateur foxhound huntsmen have graduated with beagles, and this may not be out of place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hunting in the Golden Days I have an old and battered silver wine funnel in my possession, which belonged to my forefathers, who were all ardent fox-hunters. Many a time have I thought what tales it could tell if it could only speak, for it has, doubtless, been present at many a hunting dinner in the days of yore, when people were more particular about the condition of port than they are nowadays. The thoughts it conjures up in my mind are of a very pleasant nature, and to it is attributed the conception.

Download or read book Reflection written by Richard Mousseau and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expectations of what was to be seen reflecting off of the smooth surface of the water trough was not to be. Clear blue-green water, filled to the brim clearly showed an aged face of a man mystified by a personal image. Hints of specific features were reminiscent of Father's, the family's inherited nose, dad's black eyes in furrowed brows and even Mother's hidden silent humour. Where had the years gone? Bits of recalled memories drift in and out of the mind's eye, though not in chronicle order. Dates and years as mixed up as the faces of people at various stages of life. Faces were familiar though names were difficult to recall. Dates, years and ages were non existent. The stories were most prevalent, most vivid with minute details and background facts connected to others and their stories. Farm animals; their personalities and stories also intermingled in time frames of Ed's life, maybe more affectionate than family and close friends. Animals are funny, serious and emotional.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunting literature had its beginnings as early as the fourteenth century, when nobles hunted stag, bear, fox, and other game on horseback. As foxhunting grew in popularity, literary works that covered the sport flourished, as well. In Six Centuries of Foxhunting: An Annotated Bibliography, M. L. Biscotti has compiled all books produced in Great Britain and the United States that pertain to, or mention, foxhunting with hounds. Arranged alphabetically by author, more than 2000 titles are included. Each entry features details such as place and year of publication, publisher, book size, page count, illustrations, and binding. Nearly every title is also annotated with a description of the book’s contents, and biographical sketches are provided for the most notable authors. Narratives, histories, illustrated works, verse, fiction, and even anti-hunting literature all have their place in this volume. Six Centuries of Foxhunting also features more than thirty images of book covers and foxhunting illustrations. With appendixes that contain author, title, and illustrator time lines, and separate author and title indexes, this comprehensive bibliography is a valuable resource for researchers, book dealers and collectors, and foxhunters.

Book excerpt: • Revised edition cites up-to-date statistics reflecting the trends among grouse hunters • Includes a chapter of grouse recipes Dennis Walrod takes beginning and experienced grouse hunters alike through an examination of key aspects of the hunt: how to get the most out of a covert, choosing guns and dogs, as well as concerns particular to autumn stalking or winter hunting. The emphasis falls on grouse hunting as a sport pursued for the thrill of the hunt, the adrenaline shot brought by the force of a flush, rather than the quest for impressive numbers.

Download or read book Reflections on a Marine Venus written by Lawrence Durrell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After World War II, an Englishman seeks peace on an ancient Greek island in this “remarkable” travel memoir (The New York Times). Islomania is a disease not yet classified by Western science, but to those afflicted its symptoms are all too recognizable. Men like Lawrence Durrell are struck by a powerful need to live on the ancient islands of the Mediterranean, where the clear blue Aegean is always within reach. After four tortuous wartime years in Egypt, Durrell finds a post on the island of Rhodes, where the British are attempting to return Greece to the sleepy peace it enjoyed in the ’30s. From his first morning, when a dip in the frigid sea jolts him awake for what feels like the first time in years, Durrell breathes in the fullest joys of island life, meeting villagers, eating exotic food, and throwing back endless bottles of ouzo, as though the war had never happened at all. The charms of his stay there still resonate today, for the pleasures of Greece are older than history itself.
Download or read book The Salvelinus The Sockeye and the Egg Sucking Leech written by Matthew Dickerson and published by Wings Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Salvelinus, the Sockeye, and the Egg-Sucking Leech: Abundance and Diversity in the Bristol Bay Drainage (from the Eyes of an Angler) is the fourth book in Matthew Dickerson' s Heartstreams series, published by Wings Press. This exciting ramble among the remote and beautiful mountains, lakes, and rivers of around Alaska' s Bristol Bay is full of encounters with bears, caribou, and other wildlife. But the heart of the book is Dickerson' s exploration of native trout, river ecology, and the joys of experiencing wild places and fish by casting flies among them. This volume focuses on rivers and lakes in Alaska' s Bristol Bay drainage, and on the native fish that inhabit those waters, from the abundant sockeye salmon species to the Salvelinus genus, which includes the stunningly beautiful Dolly Varden char as well as its cousin the Arctic char, the northernmost freshwater fish species in the world. Although the book explores some of the environmental threats facing these waters, the stories are also full of hope, delight, and awe. Though not a science text, it is well-informed by science as well as by the author' s careful eye. The book also includes photographs from Alaskan bush pilot and lodge owner Glen Alsworth Jr., who has lived his whole life in a small village in the middle of a national park in the Bristol Bay drainage. This volume concludes the Wings Press Heartstreams series, in which Dickerson has used fly-fishing expeditions to study the ecological health of trout and their streams from the Northeast to Apalachia to the Desert Southwest to the northern Rockies to Alaska.
