"This is the essential compendium for a day in the field… covering
everything from selecting ammunition to field dressing game birds.
That includes the fine points of selecting and fitting a shotgun,
help in finding the right field gear, tips on proper wingshooting

American game birds and dog species, ideal locations to pursue your
prey and even a dose of gun safety and ethical hunting practices.

you're just starting out by shooting clay pigeons (there's a
chapter on that as well). As author Bryant notes, you may just find
yourself aiming to become a 'master of something rich in tradition
[and] essential poetry,' following a gun dog through the Octobers
of your life…”
