L.L. Bean Upland Bird Hunting Handbook

The L.L. Bean Upland Bird Hunting Handbook is both a how-to guide and a celebration of North America's upland gamebirds. Between the covers is a distillation of Tom Huggler's lifelong love affair with pheasants, grouse, woodcock, and bobwhite quail - in fact, it covers his continued fascination with all feathered game: the plains grouse, the doves, the western species of quail, and the Old World partridges introduced to the continent.In this handbook, Huggler takes you tramping from the grouse and woodcock coverts of the East, to the sloughs of the Midwest, from the tundra for ptarmigan to the Western mountains for chukars and western grouse. Along the way he recounts the natural history of the gamebirds and tells you about the people who hunt them. Illustrated with color photographs throughout, the handbook gives advice on selecting the best breeds of dogs, the guns and loads for the game at hand, as well as tips on essential equipment.
