24cm. Pp.224. Text figures. Hardbound. Why Humble Pie? 'Numbles' were how the liver, kidney and entrails of a deer were described centuries ago; the word became corrupted to 'umbles' and then 'humble'. At hunt feasts in former times a pie made from numbles was served to the hunt servants, while the nobility ate haunch and saddle. Humble Pie contains much practical information and topics covered include 'What makes them tick? Aspects of stalking; Rifles and other equipment; Roe management'. The book is filled with stories from the author's experience and many commonly asked questions are raised and answered. Humble Pie is a blend of reminiscence and sage advice from the author's lifetime's interest and enthusiasm for these charming and enigmatic animals. Beautifully illustrated with drawings by Jeppe Ebdrup, this book is a must for all deer lovers.
