William Harnden Foster
New England Grouse Shooting 1941
The father of Skeet
Well know early Field Trailer
Fabulous art work
Etc

Robert Ruark's "The Old Man and the Boy." A true classic

I second MacQuarrie as one of my favorites and would add Francis Sell. A very practical writer that included real experiences in his writing...much like ted Trueblood...

A few others:

H.L. Betton- Upland Game Shooting
Charles Norris-Eastern Upland Shooting
Ray Holland-Shotgunning in the Uplands
Eugene Connett (Derrydale)- Upland Game Shooting in America

Ken

Another book by Guy De La Valdene is "For a Handful of Feathers" on quail hunting

Jack Kuzepski

Another that I forgot Charlie Waterman wrote both hunting and fishing stories

Can't forget to mention The Double Gun Journal Index & Reader 1997-2005 which is 300 pages of shooting stories including classics written by Kevin McCormack, David Noreen, Charlie Price, Art Wheaton and others. The writing and photography in this book is first rate.

Russ, I wish your last post was a 'wiki' so that we could insert authors and titles into it.

That's a very good list but some holes need to be filled.

Someday I'll start a thread of autographed and inscribed classic upland books.
