"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 Huntsman's Voice and Horn in Covert", "The Huntsman's 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 Huntsman's 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.
