About This Book

A series of illustrated essays and articles recounts field experiences of upland sport and natural history, emphasizing deer-stalking, salmon fishing, and observations of birds and raptors. Chapters blend practical guidance on stalking, shooting, and game care with accounts of hazardous or memorable days on hill and in forest, notes on wounded-deer behavior and predator methods, and discussion of loch and salmon matters. The pieces combine anecdote, natural-history reflection, and landscape description to convey seasonal life, techniques, and the close relationships between human keepers and the wild upland environment.
