Book Description
CLASSIC STORIES ABOUT AMERICA’S FAVORITE UPLAND GAME BIRD—AND ABOUT THE MEN AND DOGS WHO HUNT IT First published in 1938, this wonderful book is the follow-up collection of stories on grouse hunting by ruffed grouse hunting specialist Burton L. Spiller. His first collection, published in 1935, Grouse Feathers, was widely considered by many to be the best book ever written on the topic, and this second instalment of tales will no doubt take up another honorary spot in every grouse hunter’s library. Beautifully illustrated throughout by Lynn Bogue Hunt. “Burton L. Spiller’s twin books, Grouse Feathers and More Grouse Feathers, are classics; they are as stirring today as they were in their first Derrydale editions, so true that time stands still. “Long ago these volumes became collector’s items.... The incomparable delights of grouse hunting, the aroma of a clean wilderness, and the almost pagan rapport that exists between a man and his dog never change. I hold Burt Spiller the finest grouse writer who ever lived.”—Frank Woolner, author of Grouse and Grouse Hunting “The reappearance of these two delightful blendings of warm, sensitive prose and fine art will gladden the hearts of all grouse hunters and lovers of fine hunting literature....”—Eric Peper, Editor, Field & Stream Book Club

A Grouse Hunter’s Almanac
Author: Mark Parman
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 0299249239
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Like that earlier grouse hunter Aldo Leopold, Mark Parman takes to the woods when the aspens are smoky gold. Here, in an evocative almanac that chronicles the early season of the grouse hunt through its end in the snows of January, Parman follows his dog through the changing trees and foliage, thrills to the sudden flush of beating wings, and holds a bird in hand, thankful for the meal it will provide. Distilling twenty seasons of grouse hunting into these essays, he writes of old dogs and gun lust, cover and clear cutting, climate change, companions male and female, wildlife art, and stumps. A Grouse Hunter's Almanac delves into the mind of a hunter, exploring the Northwoods with an eye for more than just game. "Notable and quotable. Parman stakes out original territory and provides a vivid snapshot of the Northwoods."—John Motoviloff, author of Wisconsin Wildfoods: 100 Recipes for Badger State Bounties "Extremely rich and detailed. Parman puts forth original and genuine experiences."—Richard Yatzeck, author of Hunting the Edges
