Back in 1977, D. Brian Plummer's Modern Ferretingappeared, the first book to apply modern methods to the keeping and training of ferrets, and to knock on the head such hoary old pieces of accepted wisdom as feeding them only on bread and milk. It had its competitors, but remained the handbook that Plummer's followers demand. But the world of ferreting moves on, and now, for a new generation of ferreters, Plummer judges the time is ripe for the appearance of a fresh, up-to-the-minute manual. He incorporates all his accumulated wisdom from the past sixteen years, gained from working in different terrain and with modern equipment, breeding new strains, and refining his technique. This new guide will swiftly establish itself as THE ferreter's vade mecum. As always, Brian Plummer enlivens his book with a stream of pertinent anecdotes -about his ferreting companions and mishaps, about animal and human behaviour. This book is an important addition to the sportsman's shelves.
