5.0 out of 5 stars Great how to book for the novice, July 12, 2004

By	MotherLodeBeth "MotherLodeBeth" (Sierras of California) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

The first thing this book has going for it, is the size, since this is a book that you can carry with you on hunting trips as a step by step guide, or how to. Not only are the instructions absolutely complete but they are easy to follow, and the equipment required is inexpensive and in some cases free.

Every legally hunted bird is covered from field dressing, preserving to cooking and recipes.

The step by step instructions include either exact illustrations and/or black and white clear photographs. It is a book that the novice should own.
