Pest and predator control is essential to maintain biodiversity in the countryside. It is also a key component of successful game management. By responsibly keeping the balance we can ensure that wildlife flourishes and that sporting shooting is sustainable.

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

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.
