Wildfowl and Wildfowl Shooting with Shotgun and Punt Gun

About this book

Originally published 1896. The book comprises a short natural history of British wildfowl and complete and comprehensive directions in shooting wildfowl on the coast and inland with shotgun and punt gun. Over two hundred illustrations. Many of the earliest field sports books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
