Here is a full-color coffee-table tribute to these special birds and those who hunt them--published in cooperation with Pheasants Forever. This glorious full-color tribute to the pheasant and its place in the sporting life of millions of upland bird hunters is already a classic. Its stunning photographs, from many of the finest outdoor photographers in the country, are supported with quotations from such eminent writers on pheasants as Dan Holland, John Madson, Dale Spartas, Steve Grooms, and many others. Russ Sewell and Dave Nomsen reflect on the pheasant"s natural history and ties to agriculture and rural life, while a special essay by Steve Grooms takes a witty and eloquent look at the ringneck"s supreme talent for outsmarting dog and hunter alike. The spectacular photographs explode with the color and excitement of hunting ringnecks, taking you from the cornbelt to the Great Plains and beyond. Any pheasant hunter who has walked an autumn field and felt his pulse race a bit faster will love Ringneck.
