ARE you A GUNNER? 
Do you love to follow your dog afield; to plough through swamp or to toil 
along over rough hillsides listening for the whistle of the fall woodcock 
or the roar of the ruffed grouse; to look for chickens in the corn or for 
quail on the stubble; to call the lordly wild turkey to your blind, or follow 
him mile after mile in a tracking snow? If any of these things mean 
much to you , you should have this new book . 
American Game Bird Shooting 
By George "Bird Grinnell 
Under this title we shall publish, about ^December ist, a companion 
volume to “American Duck Shooting.” It deals with the birds followed 
with dog and gun by the upland shooter, and describes the habits of the 
woodcock, snipe, all the North American quail, all the grouse, and the wild 
turkeys. It covers the whole field of upland shooting in America as this 
field has never before been covered, and is useful and interesting to every 
resident of North America who uses the shotgun. A vast fund of inter¬ 
esting information novel to most sportsmen has been brought together in 
the book. It is in three parts. 
PART I. Describes in detail the ways of life of all the American Game Birds; woodcock, snipe, bobwhite. mountain 
quail, California quail, Gambel’s quail, scaled quail and Mearn’s quail; dusky grouse, Franklin’s grouse, Canada 
grouse, ruffed grouse, all the ptarmigan, pinnated grouse, sharp tail grouse and sage grouse, and the wild turkeys. 
PART II. Is devoted to upland shooting. Here are described at length and in detail all the various methods of tak- 
t ing all the birds mentioned above, and the various aids to shooting, such as guns and loads, dogs and clothing. 
PART III. Deals with the shooting of the past and future; tells of the efforts to introduce foreign and native game 
birds to restock our covers, and of the successful attempts by Dr. Clifton F. Hodge to rear in captivity the ruffed 
grouse and bobwhite. 
The volume is handsomely illustrated. There are colored plates of 
the ruffed grouse and the quail, made by America’s greatest bird painter, 
Louis Agassiz Fuertes, and 48 other full page plates, most of them photo¬ 
graphs from life, showing portraits of different species of birds and interest¬ 
ing shooting scenes. In the text are a number of useful and interesting 
line cuts. Everyone who delights in the outdoor life and rejoices in tramp¬ 
ing the fields and woods with dog and gun should possess this handsome 
volume, which speaks the final word on upland shooting as its predecessor 
in this field did on wildfowl shooting. 
Cloth. About 575 pages. Price $5.50 net. Postage 25 cents.
