A pheasant hunter's notebook
2003
Brown, Larry
Larry Brown has spent a lifetime chasing America's most colorful, raucous upland game bird, and the information he presents here -- based on the daily log he has kept of his hunts over three decades -- is priceless. Though qualified to do so, the author doesn't lecture on his subject but shares his experiences as one hunter to another, framing his advice with interesting, often funny anecdotes. Here, in a completely revised and updated edition of his 1992 classic, Brown covers the pursuit of pheasants from A to Z, discussing appropriate shotguns, chokes, and loads ; ground tactics for hunters with and without dogs ; trends in public-land and cropland management ; recent shifts in bird populations and habits ; and effective gun handling, to mention just a few. Particularly valuable are his strategies for hunting different kinds of cover in varying types of weather.
