The cold winds are starting to blow again.
So, by following Forum posts (thank you all) and looking elsewhere, I have assembled a non-alphabetical and desultory list of North American "Upland" authors.

Tom Hugler authored Woodcock, grouse and quail books
|
I'm sure it must just be an oversight that William Harnden Foster escapes mention and Steve Smith appears twice...
I would add Bill Tapply, author of several books on upland shooting and fishing, not to mention his Brady Coyne mystery novels. . |
Upland Tales published by Safari Press is a collection of upland shooting stories from late 1800s - early 1900s
|
Gordon MacQuarrie - mostly duck shooting and trout fishing, but probably my favorite
|
Frank Edminster ( one of the authors of the NY study on Ruffed Grouse - The Ruffed Grouse: Life History, Propagation, Management )
also wrote a book simple entitled "Ruffed Grouse" which is a good read for the hunter |
The following titles were all put out by Amwell Press.
Feathers & Fins- Tom Hennessy On Point- Henderson A Quail Hunters Odesey- Joseph Greenfield Opening Shots & Parting Lines- Charley Dicky Hunting The South Lands, The Duck Hunter's Book, Bobwhite Quail Book- LaMar Underwood Fireworks in the Peafield Corner- Archibald Rutledge The Ruffed Grouse and The Woodcock books- George Bird Evans |
Pheasant hunting - John Hightower with illustrations by Lynn Bouge Hunt
|
Gordon Gullion - Grouse of the North Shore
John W. Mackay - "Mark!" Frank Woolner - Timberdoodle Worth Mathewson - Reflections on Snipe J.J. Pringle - Twenty Years' Snipe Shooting Guy De La Valdene - Making Game (An essay on Woodcock). |
Less we forget one of the greats Michael McIntosh and Jim Carmichael. I am reading Classic Carmichel now, which I picked up at the southern, a wonderful way to spend a cold winter evening in front of the fire with a glass of that dark stuff.
