BIRD HUNTING ENTHUSIAST

A Chukar

Hunter’s

Companion

by Pat Wray

“Companion” is

much more than

a simple how-to

book. Pat Wray is a

storyteller of the first

order and his essays

are alternately hilari-

ous, heartwarming,

thought provoking

and deeply troubling.

Readers will find themselves learning

a great deal about chukar hunting and

much, much more. Wray’s stories, essays

and his uniquely humorous perspective

on chukar hunting and life (which are

not much different in his mind) raise A

Chukar Hunter’s Companion far above

the normal hunting book fare.

A Fall of Woodcock

by Tom Huggler

“A fall of woodcock

into a covert you

have either chosen

or to which you

have

been directed is a

magic all its own,”

Tom Huggler writes

in this book devoted

to the woodcock

and to those who

await the return to

their favorite coverts

each autumn. This book, with a new

introduction by Charley Waterman, casts a

similar spell as it chronicles Tom’s travels

to New England, the Maritimes,

Maine, Louisiana, then back to his

beloved Michigan in search of a better

understanding of the woodcock, and

finally, a better understanding of himself.

GAME BIRDS

A Celebration of North

American Upland Birds

by Gary Kramer

This is a magnificent, photo-driven
coffee table book and the most
ambitious title ever attempted on
gallinaceous birds, or as they are more
commonly known, game birds. Gary
Kramer is likely the only individual to
have ever photographed and published
images of all 34 game birds found in
the United States and Canada, making
this book a milestone achievement.

The book takes readers on a visual
journey across North America in search of
turkey, pheasant, quail, grouse, partridge,
ptarmigan, prairie-chickens and the game
birds of Hawaii. Among these are two
on the brink of extinction, the masked
bobwhite and Attwater's prairie-chicken,
those that are struggling such as the
Gunnison sage-grouse and lesser prairie-
chicken; abundant species that have been
introduced from foreign lands, including
the chukar and ring-necked pheasant; as
well as species that are widespread due to
successful wildlife management efforts,
like the wild turkey.
