tered” to offer readers a fresh taste of the

experience that draw bird hunters to the

fields season, upon season, upon season.

Training Pointing Dogs

SECOND EDITION!

by Paul Long

In Paul Long’s

heyday as a dog

trainer, he was a

true “guru” before

anyone even used

that word to de-

scribe an oft-sought

expert. “What does

Paul Long say

about this?” was

the frequent refrain

on training courses,

and multiple answers were provided in

the original edition of this book. Now

reissued, Training Pointing Dogs again

delivers the sage guidance of this master

dog trainer. In simple question-and-

answer format, Long addresses the ques-

tions most asked by trainers, professional

and amateur alike.

The late Paul Long was one of the most

innovative pointer trainers in the country.

His techniques are still in use, and they

continue to make a difference in the field.

Western Wings;

Hunting Upland Birds

on the High Plains

by Ben O. Williams

~ Revised and Expanded Edition ~

Ben O. Williams is a

noted outdoor writer,

photographer, author,

bird hunter, and dog

breeder. He spends

well over 250 days

each year photo-

graphing, hunting,

or running dogs on

the High Plains. Here

he discusses literally

everything about these wonderful game

birds and the country in which they live.

Hungarian partridge, sharp-tailed grouse,

sage grouse, prairie chickens, western

ruffed grouse, blue grouse, spruce grouse

and pheasants are all covered in detail: their

habits throughout the year, habitat, mating

ritual, identification, what they eat and

why, and how to look over a vast section

of prairie and identify the habitat within

the habitat to locate birds, and much, much

more. This is an updated and expanded

version of a previously published book of

the same title.
