Gamekeeping and Shooting for Amateurs by Guy N. Smith is a practical and accessible guide for anyone interested in traditional field sports and countryside management. Originally published in 1983, this book offers clear, straightforward advice on gamekeeping methods, shooting practices, and maintaining a well-managed shoot — all aimed at the amateur enthusiast.
To begin with, Smith outlines the role of the gamekeeper and the responsibilities that come with maintaining a healthy game population. Then, he moves on to explain the basics of pest control, habitat management, and feeding practices. Importantly, these topics are written in a down-to-earth, encouraging style that empowers the amateur to get started without extensive prior knowledge.
Moreover, the author delves into the etiquette and safety practices of both rough shooting and driven shoots. For example, readers are given guidance on choosing the right shotgun, training a working dog, and managing shoot days in a responsible and effective manner.
In addition, Smith includes seasonal considerations, budget-friendly tips, and real-life anecdotes drawn from his own experience as both a shooter and countryman. As a result, this book is as enjoyable to read as it is informative.
