HOW TO TRAP AND SNARE A COMPLETE MANUAL FOR THE SPORTSMAN, GAME
PRESERVER, AND AMATEUR ON THE ART OF TAKING ANIMALS AND BIRDS IN
TRAPS, SNARES AND NETS WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS BY WILLIAM
CARNEGIE ("MOORMAN") "This manual is intended to provide as much
practical insight into the various modes of trapping, snaring, and
netting the animals and birds of the British Isles as can be
furnished by writing. Whenever possible and desirable, such insight
is given of the haunts and habitats of the creatures to be caught
as may prove useful to the amateur or tyro, for whom it is more
particularly planned, than for the professional. Every piece of
work, device, trap, snare, or net described has been performed,
employed, or made by the author, and it is hoped that the
experience gained during many years may prove of advantage to
others who may be induced to follow the Art of the Trapper, either
for pastime or profit" William Carnegie, 1880. Originally published
at the turn of the century, this extremely rare book has been
reprinted in a high-quality hardback edition by Read Country Books.
It is a complete and detailed treatise on the art of trapping,
snaring and netting, written by a master of the craft and
extensively illustrated throughout. Never before reprinted, this
unique work is packed with information that is still of great
practical value to the sporting man today. 224 pages + 8 pages of
