Hunting

Fülszöveg

No previous book on hunting has been so practical in its approach or so international in its scope as HUNTING. Produced by an expert team of authors and artists, it is filled with practical information on hunting methods, arms, game animals and birds, and many other fascinating subjects, such as conservation, hunting allies, and the history of hunting.
In the dawn of history, hunting was a necessity. Nowadays, it is a recreation and, when carried out with skill and responsibility, a fine sport that enables its participants to establish a direct and close contact with the natural environment.
Man has always hunted and always will—as long as there is sufficient game to hunt. The controlled shooting of game is as important a part of wildlife management as habitat preservation. The theme of this book is responsible hunting, for it is in the hunter's interest as well as in that of future generations that game and game habitat must be preserved.
Half of the 320 pages are in colour,... Tovább
