In this practical guide, acknowledged experts explain:

The law
When, where and how to trap or snare pest species
The use of firearms
Other legal methods of control
How to avoid harming non-target species
Non-lethal deterrence for protected species.

The British Association for Shooting and Conservation was founded in 1908 as the Wildfowlers' Association of Great Britain and Ireland. It is the national representative body for country shooting.

The British Association for Shooting and Conservation is the UK's largest shooting organisation, supported by over 148,000 members. BASC represents and safeguards the interests of all who enjoy shooting sports.
