How to Hunt Birds With Bird Dogs,
This review is from: How to Hunt Birds With Gun Dogs (Hardcover)
I have read other books by Mr. Tarrant. I enjoy his style of writing. This book gives background on all species of game birds. It gives recomendations on guns, dogs, ammo, everything. It is very comprehensive. His style makes you want to keep reading. If you like to hunt birds, you should read this book.

Fun Read,

This review is from: How to Hunt Birds with Gun Dogs (Hoaxes Deceptions) (Paperback)
Some folks may not like Bill's writing style. I do. It is not the "Earthier than Thou" style that some gun, dog, and hunting writers use. Nevertheless, he does relate some stories that any outdoorsman can relate to and enjoy. This book has become sort of a reference book for me whenever someone tells me about hunting some bird that I am not familiar with, somewhere I have never been, with dogs that I don't own.
I believe it was this book that first convinced me that it was OK to sleep with a dog. My dog made that decision long ago, but I always worried that I was making a mistake, or was simply being bullied by the dog. Each page of this book will make you want to schedule a trip, get another dog, or buy another shotgun. Beware.

This review is from: How to Hunt Birds with Gun Dogs (Hoaxes Deceptions) (Paperback)
Mr. Tarrant has done a great job of giving out lots of information without making it drab. If you read his book carefully you will find plenty of hidden advice. He camoflages it as everyday knowledge but if you look, it's all there. Thank you sir, for an interesting and informative book.
