5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, quality book with great photographs, November 5, 1999

By	D. FURLANO (Riverview, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This quality, but inexpensive, book provides an informative overview of upland bird hunting, with chapters on shotgun basics & equipment, and separate chapters on all major North American upland birds.

The excellent photography & layout compliments the analysis of each bird species, its habitat, and how best to hunt them, as well as introducing the various hunting dog breeds.

This book should be in every upland hunter's library--novice and experienced hunter alike.

(This is another excellent book in the Hunting & Fishing Library--anyone who has read the Wild Turkey, Deer, Trout, Fly Tying, or Duck Hunting volumes will know what I'm talking about!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect beginners book, November 26, 1999

By A Customer

This is a great book for beginner upland hunters. As with all "hunting and Fishing Library" books I have read this one is well written and has incredible pictures. It has great sections on guns, tactics and techniques for finding birds and even a review of dogs suitable for upland hunting.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best and brings back memories, September 5, 2000

By	MotherLodeBeth "MotherLodeBeth" (Sierras of California) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Upland Game Birds (The Hunting & Fishing Library) by Dick Sternberg is such a wonderful book. Re-reading it I was reminded of when I was a kid and my Dad who was also my hero, would come home from hunting and head for the cooling room in the garage and hang the pheasants and ducks he had gotten up to age.

We would have great conversations and start talking about wildrice and mushroom stuffing and all the great dinners we would enjoy in the winter months from the game he brought home.

Dick Sternberg is such a gifted writer and reading his books you find yourself awed by the photos and graphics and like the best classes you remember from school you realize that learning can be fun as well as worthwhile.

With pheasant season just weeks away I am looking forward to trying some of the recipes in the book that I have not tried yet. And the recipes are easy to follow and do not require you to travel 50 miles to some quaint overpriced shop to buy some spice listed since everything he uses can be found at your local grocer. Unless you live in the Alaska wilderness.
