Tales of a Rat-Hunting Man Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Rat hunters are usually regarded as some kind of lunatic by the public at large, and, on reflection, the public at large may well be right.

Verily, a rat hunter's lot is not a happy one! First, he must condition himself to expect his wife to leave him, his friends to point the finger of scorn and his boss to wonder whether he has a future with the firm.

So advises Brian Plummer, whose notoriety as a rat-catcher began at age ten.

Tales of a Rat-Hunting Man, first published in Britain in 1978, is both a serious book on rats and their habits and an autobiographical account of Plummer's eccentric and entertaining life.

But the heart of this book focuses on Plummer's obsession with ratting -- and he discusses the uses of ferrets and terriers, including their training and entering.
