ARE YOU A GUNNER? 
Do you love to follow your dog afield; to plough through swamps 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 
Und er this title we shall publish on December 8th 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 taking 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. Clinton 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 S3.50 net. Postage 25 cents.
