5.0 out of 5 stars How to Hunt Birds With Bird Dogs, March 8, 2000
By "shotgundrg" (Menifee, CA) - See all my reviews
I have read other books by Mr. Tarrant. I enjoy his style of writing. This book gives background on all species of game birds. It gives recomendations on guns, dogs, ammo, everything. It is very comprehensive. His style makes you want to keep reading. If you like to hunt birds, you should read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Here's a guy with a lot of experience, April 6, 2002
By Cris Sherman (Mountlake Terrace, WA United States) - See all my reviews
Tarrant obviously knows what he is talking about. My hunting experiences will be a little more enjoyable after reading this book. Not only is he an accomplished hunter, but I like the way he writes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Customer review, May 23, 2000
By Randall L. Hassig (Houston, Texas, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This is a good book. It covers several bird species and explains their idiosyncracies. I do not care much for Mr. Tarrants writing style and find it a bit too flowery. A good read.
