Larry Brown has spent a lifetime pursuing America's most colorful and raucous upland game bird, and the advice he presents here, based on written records of his hunts over the decades, is priceless. Though qualified to do so, the author doesn't lecture on his subject but shares his experiences as one hunter to another, coloring his information with interesting, informative, often amusing anecdotes. Particularly valuable are his strategies for hunting different kinds of cover in varying types of weather.

"My plan was simple ... and it worked like a charm. Five minutes later, I was standing on top of the bank above twenty-odd unsuspecting pheasants. Then one of them spotted me, and they flushed nearly in unison. Apparently, I was more surprised than the birds that my simple maneuver worked, because I didn't pull a feather with either barrel. "

Great Pheasant Hunting Book!,
By "bryjenmoore" (MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Pheasant Hunter's Notebook (Hardcover)
For those of you who know of Larry Brown from the Pointing Dog Journal, this book is exactly what you would expect from Larry - exceptional. For anyone who is not familiar with Larry's work, buy this book. Larry explains pheasant hunting from his perspective, having spent nearly his whole life in the best pheasant state in the union, Iowa. Experience built by killing 50 - 60 wild pheasants each season. The country probably only holds a few dozen men who can say they have done this. The book is well written, an easy read and entertaining - the story about his friend mistakenly shooting a pheasant with a slug on the fly is hilarious! Every pheasant hunter should have this book in their collection along side Datus Proper and Steve Grooms.

This review is from: A Pheasant Hunter's Notebook (Hardcover)
When I started reading this book I couldn't put it down. Larry Brown has prodigious experience hunting pheasants in all sorts of conditions, and he shares his knowledge in the form of anecdotes from his hunts, including information on such things as how to hunt different terrain, pheasant behavior, weather, gun/load selection, use of dogs, etc. I learned alot about pheasant hunting while vicariously enjoying the hunts he describes. I was happy to see that some of the techniques I'd developed via trial and error were validated as well. He describes features of pheasant hunting in yesteryear, which was also quite interesting to me. Overall, the book is very well-written and an engaging read. It is also filled with photos of actual hunters/hunts.
If you are interested in pheasant hunting, I highly recommend this book!

Great Pheasant Book!,
By
This review is from: A Pheasant Hunter's Notebook (Hardcover)
An excellent book on midwestern pheasant hunting by a fellow who has "been there and done that." A pleasant read and full of helpful information. I've enjoyed this author's many hunting magazine articles, and this book is in the same fine tradition.
