The NOB's Guide to Beating and Picking Up
A totally revised and updated guide to the initiation and management
of successful 'picking up' in the field. It gives advice on choosing a suitable
dog, the options available for training and the different environments the dog
may have to work on, such as grouse moors, pheasant shoots and rough shoots.
It also gives a useful insight into what shoot managers actually expect from
their pickers-up.
