People
ask me, after seventy some years, how I never tire of hunting game
birds and running bird dogs. I can't tell you everything, but my
books cover a lot of it. Ever since my youth, I've been involved
in some way with upland game birds, be it studying their habits
and habitat, breeding and training bird dogs, hunting the different
species or writing and photographing my experiences in the fields,
prairies, foothills, forest and mountains of North America.
I've spent endless hours on
the leading edge specializing in developing gun dogs and new hunting
tactics for wild games birds. And by learning each game bird's habits
and habitat, which is the glue, that binds the fabric together in
finding the quarry and making the whole experience worthwhile.
After logging decades in the
field with pointing dogs, hot barrels and empty casings, it occurred
to me this knowledge and these adventures be recorder and shared.
I did my homework long before I picked up pen and camera. My priority
as an outdoor writer and author is to gather these findings of how
and where to hunt wild game birds. And yes; it is still out there
for anyone to go and that's what my books are all about.
Good Hunting,
Ben O. Williams
