Are You A Gunner?

the twitter of the fall woodcock ? If so, you should have this new book. 
AMERICAN GAME BIRD SHOOTING 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
(New—Just Published) 
This companion volume to “An erican Duck Shooting” treats of the upland game which American 
sportsmen shoot over dogs—wocdco ,k, snipe, all the quail, grouse and turkeys. 
The first part of the volume is devoted to a description of the various species and their habits—the 
way in which they live their lives. 
The second part of the book is devoted to upland shooting and treats of the methods by which all the 
upland birds are pursued and taken. The chapter “Aids to Shooting” describes the clothing, guns, 
and bads and dogs that the gunner may profitably use; while the last section of the book treats of the 
shooting of the future and the efforts to rear our native quail and grouse in domestication. 
The volume is illustrated by colored plates of ruffed grouse and quail, and 48 full page portraits of 
different game birds and hunting scenes, with a number of cuts in the text. 
Cloth. About 575 pages. Price $3.50, net. Postage 25 cents. 
This hook is cf inestioable value. It contains the genuine hunter- 
naturalist facts given in the most entertaining and interesting style.
