Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Feathered Game: A Handbook of the North American Game Birds Ome years ago I was shooting ducks in North Dakota with some army Officers from Fort Totten. In looking over the bag one evening I found a number Of birds which were entirely new to me. Several Of them were not mentioned in any Of the books On field sports. It occurred to me then that a book describing every game bird would be a valu able addition to a Sportsman's library. The authors Of the earlier books had little or no experience west of the Alleghenies and many Of the birds now taken by sportsmen were unknown to them. When Audubon and Wilson wrote their ornithologies much of the Western country was inhabited by hostile Indians and was inaccessible. Audubon was aware of the existence Of the best American grouse, the sharp tail, but said that he was entirely unfamiliar with its habits. Forester had no acquaintance with the com mon prairie-grouse. All the birds are now known, and described, but the information is contained in many volumes, and is, for the most part, too technical to entertain Sportsmen. There is not today a complete manual of the feathered game Of North America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Game-Bird Shooting No Full and complete work on American upland shooting has as yet been written. Volumes have been published, each of which covers some section of what is really a large subject, but from the broader sportsman's viewpoint no one of them is complete. Of these works, the most useful was written by the veteran naturalist and sportsman, D. G. Elliott, whose Game Birds of North America deals chiefly with the natural history side of the grouse and quails, and touches only lightly Oh the methods by which they are pursued for sport. It seems time now that a book should he written, covering the whole subject of upland American game-bird shooting; that is, the shooting of those birds in which the pointing dog is the assistant to the gun - the turkeys, grouse and quail, and the American woodcock and Wilson's snipe, called also "English" and "jack" snipe, a bird of continental distribution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Birds: Common Birds of Town and Country and American Game Birds Would that the same could be said of the sportsman who almost invariably is at heart a nature lover, though the primi tive instinct to kill is uppermost. Many sportsmen, however, who formerly fol lowed wild creatures only to kill, have abandoned the use of rifle and shotgun, and today are finding greater pleasure in studying and photographing their former quarry than they did in pursuing it with murderous intent. A real interest in wild life leads naturally to a love of Nature in all her varied manifestations, and this, in all lands and under all circumstances, remains a source of lasting pleasure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Distribution of American Gallinaceous Game Birds It is simpler to list those habitats in which no species of gallinaceous game bird is found regularly than to list those in which one or more species do occur. Some unoccupied habitats are extremely inhospitable from the standpoint of available water. Others are isolated pockets or islands of a type (like the alpine meadow of California and Oregon) that is occupied by a gallinaceous species in other regions. The following habitats are unoccupied by any species of gallinaceous game bird, at least in certain areas.

Download or read book American Bob Whites and Quails Classic Reprint written by R. W. Shufeldt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Bob Whites and Quails Among the game birds of the world there are not a few instances where the male of the species assists in incubation. In the case of our bob-whites, Wilson, the ornith ologist, did not appear to know, in so far as we can judge from his published writings, that the male quail assisted in the matter of incubation. Audubon knew about it, and says in his great work that The female prepares a nest composed of grasses, arranged in a circular form, leaving an entrance not unlike that of a common oven. It is placed at the foot of a tuft of rank grass (see Fig. 2) or some closed stalks 'of corn, and is partly sunk in the ground. The eggs are from ten to eighteen, rather sharp at the smaller end and of a pure white. The male at times assists in hatching them. This very indiffer ent description will probably stand pretty well for one case in several hundred, and it would appear that Audubon met with but few nests of this species in his rambles. He reserved most of the space that he devoted to the life-history of this famous little game bird, to describe the capture of it by driving bevies of them into nets. This practice 'seemed to amuse him very much indeed, as it might the average market-man today, were quails plenty enough for them to resort to it. This is what Audubon says on this point when endeavoring to describe the note of the bob-white: A fancied similarity to the words 'bob-white' renders this call familiar to the sportsman and farmer; but these notes are always preceded by another, easily heard at a distance of thirty or forty yards. The three together resemble the words 'ah, Bob White.' The first note is a kind of asperation, and the last is very loud and clear. This whistle is seldom heard after the breed ing season, during which an imitation of the peculiar note of the female, will make the male fly toward the sportsman who may then easily shoot it.
