The classic grouse hunting book of all time, this masterpiece created more interest in the sport than all of the other books on grouse combined. A noted authority on game birds of all kinds, Spiller delivers practical, hands-on advice on hunting grouse, the choice of bird dogs, favorite hunting locales throughout the New England states and much more. The book includes nine handsome illustrations by noted wildlife artist Lynn Bogue Hunt, author of Derrydale's An Artist's Game Bag .
Originally published in 1935, Spiller's book on grouse is the textbook for tweed-wearing, pipe-smoking, double-shooting New England grouse and woodcock hunters. Although the language sounds a bit stilted today, after a couple of chapters you'll want to head to Maine, even if you don't know a partridge from a ptarmigan. Heartwarming tales well told, this deserves the classic moniker.
