This book needs to be updated, especially the information on sales and marketing. "Housewives" today probably make up considerably less market than bistros. It also advocates using multiflora rose as a fence, which was popular 20 years ago. Most areas are now trying to eradicate this uncontrollable, nasty weed. There is also little info on domestic ducks. The book does, however, provide some good info and is worth the $12.

I bought the book for my husband, however, we both read it as preparation for converting about 200 acres into wildlife habitat. We both found it very informative. I would recommend it to anyone interested in preserving native game birds.

The book was exactly what I needed. I was going to be raising game birds to release into the wild. The book was informative and gave me the details that I needed to get started.

Thin, aloof, pseudo-scholarly, and theoretical.

With headings such as "Pheasant Propagation", and subheadings such as "Sound Management Practices", this book tries really hard to be the kind of book you might read in some college class. However, at barely 1/4" thick it fits a very narrow focus. As an example, the last chapter (entitled "Developing a Game Bird Preserve") is barely 6 pages long!

Much more useful for wildlife management professionals, than lay persons. Very little basic information. A "2-star" rating is being generous!
