Description: "The L.L. Bean Upland Bird Hunting Handbook" is both a how-to guide and a celebration of North America's upland game birds. 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.

Huggler has a critical and appreciative eye for landscape, especially those with habitat niches for game birds. In this handbook, he takes you tramping to the Eastern grouse and woodcock coverts and the Midwestern sloughs, then looks to the prairies and Great Plains for grouse; the tundra for ptarmigan; and the Western mountains for Chunker partridge. He recounts the natural history of game birds and tells you about the people who hunt them. Liberally illustrated with photographs throughout, the handbook gives advice on selecting the best breeds of dog, the guns and loads for the game at hand, as well as tips on essential equipment.

"The L.L. Bean Upland Bird Hunting Handbook" is deftly written for both experts and novices -- in fact, anyone with an interest in upland hunting. In it, you'll find all the information needed to make any bird hunt successful.
