Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways

The great bird dog and wingshooting stories included in this collection have only appeared in early issues of magazines such as Outdoor Life and Field & Stream or in some of Rutledge's oldest and rarest books. The editor, Jim Casada, an expert on Rutledge, uncovered many of these lost stories for this collection. In 1930, Rutledge wrote a book of dog stories titled Bolio and Other Dogs; the lead story, "The Odyssey of Bolio," is an all-time great dog story and is included in this collection, along with "The Philosopher Among Dogs" and "Then Gabriel Blew His Horn." Brett Smith, one of America's finest hunting artists, painted an original picture for the cover and created a number of etchings especially for this book. No Rutledge collection is complete without Bird Dog Days - a classic collection of bird dog and wingshooting stories that belongs in every sportsman's library.
