About this title

Synopsis

Reviews

Walrod, veteran author and hunter, believes grouse hunting is unique in its difficulty and in forcing the hunter to be alert to the surroundings. In fact, one ``hunts grouse by hunting habitat.'' The explosive flush, the tangled habitat, the bird's great speed and elusive flight, make the hunter count success by number of flushes rather than by kills. Walrod writes for both the novice and experienced, describing grouse bahavior, habitat, hunting methods, and recipes. He emphasizes that proper technique is hard physical work, but the joy of grouse hunting is related to the difficulty and is a major element in the sporting ethic. With a photographer's vision and a good writing style, Walrod appeals to naturalists and armchair hunters as well as hunters. Recommended for public libraries in upland game country.
