FERRETING
An Essential Guide
By Simon Whitehead
Simon Whitehead, Author, Professional Ferreter and Countryman’s Weekly contributor has written 'Ferreting - An Essential Guide', a 192 page hardback book based upon decades of considerable practical experience both professionally and for sport, not second hand theories. This practicable guide contains all the vital information you would require in order to work ferrets successfully to catch rabbits, using tried and tested traditional methods. Complementing the text are 124 examples of the Countryman’s Weekly photographers, Steven Taylor, Greg Knight and Nigel Housden and 9 line drawings.
Book Reviews
“This beautiful well illustrated book will be a very welcome addition to my bookshelf and it truly is the kind of book which can be read time and time again. FERRETING-An Essential Guide should appeal to all who have an interest in our countryside and I strongly believe that this book has much to offer the experienced ferreter along with the novice. Simon Whitehead and The Crowood Press should be congratulated for their combined labours in offering us what must be the best ferreting book to date.”
Chipper Smith, Earth Dog Running Dog Magazine

Steve Caple, Author and Professional Pest Controller
“This
book will always be pulled from your bookshelf by visiting ferreters for
years to come. It's one of those books that will be relevant for a long
time and is most certainly worth collecting.”

“In his new book on the subject, Simon distils a vast amount of knowledge into an easily read format.”

“In conclusion, this is a superb effort and, to be truthful, I believe it to be way ahead of other publications on the subject. Visually it is a star’s flight from anything that has been previously offered and I wish the author great success.”
Phil Lloyd, The Countryman’s Weekly.
