whats peoples favourite books and whats their views on authors

running dog addiction and dig deep throw well back are brill books and worth reading :D

If i could stray a little further than the book i can recommend a excellent shooting DVD, The art of game shooting by shooting times & Holland &Holland, brilliant watch with plenty a variation on different game birds.

books have more information and you learn more from a book than a dvd :D i do like to watch a good dvd like :D

The Notorius Poacher. by G. Bedson :)

my choices would be:
running dog addiction
extreme lurcherwork
dig deep, throw well back all j darcy
world of the working terrier
badger digging with terriers both D harcombe
the fell terrier
diary of a hunter both DB plummer

also stormy nights and frosty mornings is okay but im not too keen on the gun dog and shooting bits :shock:

The two ive just read:

Fowler in the wild Eric Begbie
Shooting types (funny)

Hi Steve

surely you must be able to find a country book with lots of pics then you could maybe read it a bit quicker.

im sure you will mate, and you will find it easier doing over here (not as much removed by mods)

Hi Neil, good to see you mate :lol:
I struggle with the pictures aswell, every time i open the book it looks like a new picture :shock: takes me years

Other than the shooting times and sporting gun I would seriously recommend reading anything attributed to Wilbur Smith who simply has to be in the top 5 authors. I particularly like his book ‘The birds of prey’, a book that you simply cant put down.
Burnard Cornwell is another fantastic author who dramatises actual historic events especially during the Napoleonic wars; I love the ‘Sharp’ series.
