Wild Life in East Anglia: Wild-Fowling with a Stalking Sledge

​I saw the name and it seemed vaguely familiar. I thought maybe it was gun related but he was an artist and a good one. I am not sure I have seen his work before but he was excellent. I like his art on lesser sports like punt gunning. The one above was something new to me. It seems a very primitive punt boat and likely a good way to get wet or lose a gun or your life. Steve had a thing for punt gunning.

See chapter 100 in his book on books, A Sportsman’s Library.
