Complete Book of Upland Bird Hunting Essentials for Success in Field, Farm & Forest

Equally useful to longtime hunters and those on their first shoot, this assemblage of bird hunting wisdom can increase anyone' s chances of success. Field tactics are provided for 18 game birds, from commonly-hunted species like turkey, quail, pheasant, and grouse to lesser-known birds such as ptarmigan, hun, and chukars. The collected advice from veteran North American hunters covers everything from how to recognize promising terrain to the best ways to deploy dogs, as well as choosing the right gun, selecting a load and choke setting for each bird, and maximizing success when hunting alone or with friends. Range maps and practical safety tips are offered, while hundreds of color photographs show both outstanding specimens of each species and the spectacular terrain hunters will encounter.Carpenter, Tom is the author of 'Complete Book of Upland Bird Hunting Essentials for Success in Field, Farm & Forest', published 2007 under ISBN 9781581593495 and ISBN 158159349X.
