To Jones (Upland Passage), who lives in Vermont and has been at it for 50 years, hunting is a religion, and its high priests are gundogs. He claims he was taught to hunt by a pair of half-wild Irish setters. Most of his dogs have been Labradors but he has a remarkably unlikely retriever in a Jack Russell terrier. He takes a surrogate grandson to a hunting lodge and watches the boy shoot his first bird. Jones warns that turkey hunting can be hazardous and offers nine safety tips to the unwary. Hunters will find these engaging essays much to their taste.

The author has hunted all kinds of game birds, including prairie chicken, woodcock, ruffed grouse, pheasant, snipe, and Canada goose. He has seen more than 30 species in their native habitat in some seven countries. The pursuit of game birds has been his primary obsession for over half a century. This experience has contributed to his in-depth understanding and has resulted in his own abiding admiration for and love of his prey. Here is a collection of his outdoor writing that goes a long way in explaining his interest in bird hunting. It accomplishes a result akin to what A River Runs through It accomplished for the sport of fly fishing. He masterfully re-creates the hunting experience by capturing the feel and look of the woodlands, its many distinct smells, the beauty of the birds, and the excitement of the hunt. Hunters and outdoor sportspersons will find this a delightful read. Fred Egloff
