Jeremy Hobson is the author of over 30 published books and a regular writer for many of the UK's field sports and rural-based magazines. Much of his published work is based on his experience of rural living and love of the countryside, but a great deal more is as result of his involvement in gamekeeping and shoot management for over three decades. The author of several books appertaining to shooting and gamekeeping, his first edition of this book, A Practical Guide to Modern Gamekeeping (2012, How To Books) has become a well-reviewed modern 'classic'. Jeremy lives in Hampshire and although nowadays a professional freelance author and writer, remains actively connected to the shooting world - not least through his position as host on a nearby sporting estate.
