There are hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands in America's heartland available to grouse and partridge hunters. That's the good news. The bad news is that without an understanding of the birds' habitat requirements and behavior, as well as region-by-region population densities, hunters can waste a lot of boot leather finding them. This guide, the second in the Wingshooting Wisdom series, includes seasoned advice, maps, artwork and full-color photography of birds and habitats, up to date contacts and accommodations, and everything else needed to plan a successful hunt.

There are hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands in America's heartland available to pheasant and quail hunters. That's the good news.

For Ben Williams, there is something very special about bird hunting. This book is not only about hunting game birds, bird dogs and bird guns, although they have been an important part of Williams’ life. It’s also about each bird’s origin, distribution, life cycle, behavior, habitat, food and daily routine. It’s about what Williams calls “Learning Wild Things.” Six species of quail are covered, each discussed in terms of when Williams first hunted the bird, exploring the bird’s life cycle, and explaining how Williams hunts the bird today. These essays are about hunting wild things and wild places with clouds moving overhead and rocks beneath one’s boots.
