Fun Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Some folks may not like Bill's writing style. I do. It is not the "Earthier than Thou" style that some gun, dog, and hunting writers use. Nevertheless, he does relate some stories that any outdoorsman can relate to and enjoy. This book has become sort of a reference book for me whenever someone tells me about hunting some bird that I am not familiar with, somewhere I have never been, with dogs that I don't own. I believe it was this book that first convinced me that it was OK to sleep with a dog. My dog made that decision long ago, but I always worried that I was making a mistake, or was simply being bullied by the dog. Each page of this book will make you want to schedule a trip, get another dog, or buy another shotgun. Beware.

Mr. Tarrant has done a great job of giving out lots of information without making it drab. If you read his book carefully you will find plenty of hidden advice. He camoflages it as everyday knowledge but if you look, it's all there. Thank you sir, for an interesting and informative book.
GREAT BOOK for any BIRD Hunter
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book is great especially if you are hunting with a bird dog. I have gained so much insight into the ways to hunt birds with my dog that I may never have considered without reading this book. I enjoy the way that Bill Tarrant writes and it is very catching. I had a hard time putting this book down. Anyone who hunts birds with a bird dog will benefit from reading this book. Bill goes over the different types of birds and their common habits and characterisitics and where to look for them. It was very helpful to me.

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.
