I first read this book in 1990 in a public library in Upstate NY. I just purchased a copy for my library last month. It not only inspired me to go buy a shotgun and begin upland hunting, but to appreciate everything that surrounds hunting, the hunt and the outdoors. While it accomplishes its purpose to instruct, Smith blends wit and experience that makes it an entertaining read. Now 16 years later, and after hunting all over the country I can confirm that he does an outstanding job of providing a foundation for the reader to form his or her own opinion on guns, dogs and hunting techniques.
