Description - BASC Handbook: Pest and Predator Control by British Association for Shooting & Conservation

Pest and predator control is essential to maintain biodiversity in the countryside. It is also a key component of successful game management. By responsibly keeping the balance we can ensure that wildlife flourishes and that sporting shooting is sustainable. This comprehensive and practical book, produced specifically for shoots and conservationists, provides a basic guide to all aspects of control. It explains which species can be controlled and by what means. There is detailed guidance on shooting, snaring, trapping, the use of dogs and humane dispatch. The law governing pest species is covered in detail, particularly in regard to the general licences which are frequently misunderstood, occasionally leading to prosecution. Detailed instructions are provided on the effective and legal use of snares and traps with photographic sequences to show how they should be sited and set. This will be invaluable to those who enforce wildlife law and need to distinguish between legal and illegal methods of control. colour photographs throughout
