This evocative collection captures the essence of autumn bird hunting in New England's uplands, where golden October light filters through birch and alder, and the faithful setter works ahead through cover. Tapply draws readers into a world of flushing grouse and woodcock, of early frosts and the companionship found between hunter and dog.
More than mere hunting tales, these essays explore the traditions, ethics, and deep satisfaction of pursuing wild birds in wild places. Tapply's prose combines keen observation of the natural world with thoughtful reflection on why these October days afield matter so profoundly to those who cherish them.
Perfect for anyone who understands that hunting is as much about being present in the landscape as it is about the quarry itself.
