From the Publisher:

The best info. for hunting birds on the western prairies
Expert Ben Williams provides just about everything there is to know about Hungarian partridge, sharp-tailed grouse, sage grouse, and prairie chickens. From basic habits and habitat to observations from years spent afield, it is all here. Tom McGuane, in his foreword to this book, said " Ben Williams has logged his many hours and miles like a diligent field biologist and he has moved beyond hot barrels, empty shellcasings, and game recipes to a wide, wide view in which the hunter, the land, and the quarry hold something eternal together." This is a must have book for anyone who hunts the open spaces of the western United States. Publication date: 10/1/98
