Items related to Tales of a Rat-Hunting Man (Wilder Places)
Rat hunters are usually regarded as some kind of lunatic by the public at large, and, on reflection, the public at large may well be right. Verily, a rat hunter's lot is not a happy one! First, he must condition himself to expect his wife to leave him, his friends to point the finger of scorn and his boss to wonder whether he has a future with the firm. So advises Brian Plummer, whose notoriety as a rat-catcher began at age ten. Tales of a Rat-Hunting Man, first published in Britain in 1978, is both a serious book on rats and their habits and an autobiographical account of Plummer's eccentric and entertaining life. But the heart of this book focuses on Plummer's obsession with ratting -- and he discusses the uses of ferrets and terriers, including their training and entering.
