5.0 out of 5 stars north americas greatest bird hunting lodges and preserves, January 18, 2001

By	james d plungis "[e-mail]" (n miami, fl United States) - See all my reviews

This is undoubtedly the best book on bird hunting in a very,very long time.It has given the reader the "Who,what,when, and where",in specific and pleasant language, with some inviting photos of the lodges.The author has skillfully gone from areas to hunt that are either almost free, to the quite expensive, using the same exacting detail about what kind of birds,their source,seasons,lodging availability,rates,directions to get there,...even down to tipping. A few paragraphs about each place makes you wish you were able to hunt them all.

By	Miles E. Geisler - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am disapointed in this book. The first fault is that it fell apart the first time I opened it. It is very cheaply made and the pages keep falling out of it! Secondly, the info is not that useful and one would be much better served researching places to hunt on the net.
