About this ebook
This book contains a detailed treatise on the shooting of woodcock for sport. A great little book any wildfowl hunter would be remiss to overlook, 'Shooting On Moor And Marsh - The Woodcock' is both an entertaining and informative read, and constitutes a wonderful addition to any collections of wildfowl hunting literature. Included within this text is a wealth of information on the subject, including techniques, history, habitats, and notable stories pertaining to the hunting of this popular bird. Many antique books such as this are increasingly costly and hard to come by. We have elected this book for modern republication in the hope that its contents can be read and enjoyed by discerning enthusiasts for years to come, and are proud to republish it now complete with a new introduction on shooting wildfowl.
