In the shadowy corners of Great Britain, where the notion of game hunting conjures images of majestic stags and swift foxes, David Brian Plummer introduces us to the uncelebrated quarry: the rat. "Tales of a Rat Hunting Man" is not merely a guide to the pursuit of these oft-despised creatures; it is an ode to a fascination that began with a young boy’s first rat terrier and grew into a life devoted to the mastery of rat-catching. Plummer's narrative, rich with the grit and gusto of a seasoned hunter, pulls back the curtain on a world where the quarry is as cunning as it is reviled, offering an unflinching look into the heart of a hunter who finds beauty in the chase and respect for his quarry. Plummer's account is as much an adventure as it is a reflection, weaving together tales of nocturnal hunts, the camaraderie between hunter and hound, and the silent dance between predator and prey. With a wit as sharp as the teeth of his terriers, he guides us through the underbelly of Britain's countryside, where the hunt for rats is not just a sport but a testament to the balance of nature. "Tales of a Rat Hunting Man" transcends the initial shock of its subject to emerge as a compelling exploration of the passion and dedication that define the true sportsman. Plummer’s charm and narrative prowess turn what could be a niche interest into a delightful journey into the heart of an unconventional hunter’s world, making the act of reading about the hunting of such "nasty creatures" an unexpectedly captivating experience.
