5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pheasant Hunting Book!, July 29, 2003

By	"bryjenmoore" (MI United States) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pheasant Book!, December 18, 2007

By	Jerry Goldstein (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasure, October 20, 2007

By	D. S. Bornus (St. Paul, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
