  How and when did the medieval coney turn into the modern rabbit ? Where does capercailzie come from? A bender is not what hunters go on to celebrate, and buck fever attacks the hunter, not the deer. What is the anal tush of the roe deer? This book provides etymology, definition and examples of words associated with the fauna, (chased and chasers), country lore and implements of field sports.
