In this fully revised second edition, Steve Grooms shows why pheasant hunting is still one of the most exciting and rewarding ways to spend a day with your dog and a gun. Full of essential information for beginners and plenty of wisdom for more seasoned hunters, the book explains how to identify a good gun dog, what the well-equipped pheasant hunter needs before heading out, and how to prepare your body and mind for the hunt. Also included is advice on reading the landscape and evaluating hunting pressure so that you have the best chance of bagging the bird. Though pheasant were until recently dismissed as easy prey, Grooms champions the bird as a quick-witted and unpredictable target, and those who recognize the sport for what it is-challenging, absorbing, and exhilarating-will find this book a vital reference.

This review is from: Modern Pheasant Hunting: 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I've been pheasant hunting off and on for 25 years, this book has both confirmed what I knew and contradicted what I thought I knew. I do have some new tactics for next season and that alone makes this book worth it. I think I'll buy one for every hunting partner, maybe they'll stop slamming doors and scaring the birds!

A classic book on Pheasant hunting,
By Mark Mathosian (Boca Raton, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modern Pheasant Hunting: 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This book is like and old friend. I read the first hard bound edition years ago and it still sits on my bookshelf with other treasured books about pheasant hunting. When this new edition was published I immediately purchased a copy for my son, who is new to pheasant hunting. This is a great book on pheasant hunting and an enjoyable read. Highly recommended for experienced and novice bird hunters.

Informational and entertaining,
This review is from: Modern Pheasant Hunting (Paperback)
Reading the first edition from 1982 was as enjoyable as much for the detailed information on all aspects of pheasant hunting as it was for the historical nature of a book over a quarter century old. The facts are still solid, though a look at the 2005 2nd edition might be warranted. Steve Grooms humble nature comes through as he more often than not has a personal anecdote regarding what not to do in the many different situations he describes. Informational and entertaining, it is well worth a read.
