Opis

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

“Hunting by Ear” is a vintage handbook on fox-hunting with a special focus on sound, being an exploration of music, voice, and horn in the field. This interesting and highly-readable guide will be of utility to modern huntsman just as it was when first published, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage sporting literature. Contents include: “Melody and the Need for it”, “Hound Music”, “The Huntsmans Voice and Horn in Covert”, “The Huntsmans Voice and Horn in the Open”, “The Quietness of the Whipper-in”, “The Silence of the Master”, “The Field as Listeners”, “The Commentary”, “Record 101A: The Horn, The Huntsmans Voice”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
