"With all the challenges and uncertainties that lay ahead, I decided the time was right to try and record, for future generations to enjoy, the hunting lives of some of the many colourful characters who were profiled in the first volume of Hunters of the Welsh Hills. Due to the success and popularity of the first volume I decided to continue in the series, showing the hunting world long before the intervention of Tony Blair's toxic Labour Government. To be out on a Welsh hillside, with a pack of hounds in full cry is one of life's great pleasures."
