Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sportsman's Library: Or Hints on the Hunter, Hunting, Hounds, Shooting, Game, Sporting, Dogs, Fishing, &C. &C It can scarcely be expected that one man should be a proficient in all the matters treated of in "The Sportsman's Library." When I state, therefore, that in some portions of this work, I have received assistance, I do no more than might reasonably be anticipated. To a select few of the best, and the best known, of living sportsmen, I am indebted for their valuable opinions, and highly important assistance, with regard to various subjects, as to which I may not have conceived myself to be proficient, or may have doubted the correctness of my own judgment. Desirous, however, as I am to acknowledge, and pay my tribute of thanks for, the assistance received, I am equally anxious that it be understood that this volume, unlike the generality of sporting works, is not a compilation, nor composed of piratical extracts.

Download or read book More Grouse Feathers written by Burton L. Spiller and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CLASSIC STORIES ABOUT AMERICA’S FAVORITE UPLAND GAME BIRD—AND ABOUT THE MEN AND DOGS WHO HUNT IT First published in 1938, this wonderful book is the follow-up collection of stories on grouse hunting by ruffed grouse hunting specialist Burton L. Spiller. His first collection, published in 1935, Grouse Feathers, was widely considered by many to be the best book ever written on the topic, and this second instalment of tales will no doubt take up another honorary spot in every grouse hunter’s library. Beautifully illustrated throughout by Lynn Bogue Hunt. “Burton L. Spiller’s twin books, Grouse Feathers and More Grouse Feathers, are classics; they are as stirring today as they were in their first Derrydale editions, so true that time stands still. “Long ago these volumes became collector’s items.... The incomparable delights of grouse hunting, the aroma of a clean wilderness, and the almost pagan rapport that exists between a man and his dog never change. I hold Burt Spiller the finest grouse writer who ever lived.”—Frank Woolner, author of Grouse and Grouse Hunting “The reappearance of these two delightful blendings of warm, sensitive prose and fine art will gladden the hearts of all grouse hunters and lovers of fine hunting literature....”—Eric Peper, Editor, Field & Stream Book Club

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Sportsman: Containing Hints to Sportsmen, Notes on Shooting, and the Habits of the Game Birds and Fowl of America An intelligent, observant sportsman, whether he be a votary of the gentle craft, or a zealous advocate of the dog and gun, instinctively - yes, oftentimes without being in the least conscious of it himself - becomes an impassioned admirer of nature and nature's works in her most varied and attractive forms. It is not, as many narrow-minded astutes ignorantly suppose, the mere slaughter of the timorous partridge which so early calls him forth to the stubble-field; neither is it the coveted possession of the savory woodcock that lures him to the entangled brake; nor is it the soaring wisps of fickle snipes which alone entice him to the oozy meadows; nor yet the booming grouse that makes him climb the mountainside or seek the far-off rolling prairie. There are other incentives, other charms, besides these, O ye incredulous, pent-up inhabitants of a crowded city, which impel the sportsman, as with a siren's wand, hie joyfully away with dog and gun to fields, to the hills, to the rich autumn-tinted forests.
