I had trade editions of Grouse and Woodcock hunting from Amwell Press by GBE that I sold years ago to help buy mu first safe. I wouldn't mind replacing them.

Dean I KNOW you don't have Grouse Points and other Drivel by Cobb. Just send me an advance and i'll write you up a limited edition.:biglaugh::biglaugh:

Dean, do you have "A Passion For Grouse"? Coffee table sized with wonderful pics, many of which are Setters with some of the same blood that courses through the veins of your dog.
Expensive -- but worth every penny.

Mark Volk wrote 5 books that are pretty awesome: Upland Ways, The Hickorywind, Homesick, Pages from a MTN Journal Volume I and Volume II

like Dean with GBE, i bought the first two Volk books and never went back for another

but it seems a lot of folks like his work


a couple more ideas

anything by Steve Smith - sometimes with Gene Hill

Of Grouse and Things - by the RGS

Dancers in the Sunset Sky: The Musings of a Bird Hunter - Robert F. Jones

Upland Days & Upland Autumn - William Tapply

A Fall of Woodcock - Tom Huggler

Some day you may be able to buy one of my books

Grouse Hunting "how to ruin a perfectly good bird dog" or
Grouse Hunting "the anti-Christ of the north woods" or
Grouse Hunting "hello my name is Chad, and I'm a Grouse-aholic" or
Grouse Hunting "King of Upland Birds" subtitled all the above :bowdown:

I have several first edition Fur Fin and Feather by Rev HA Macpherson, AJ Stuart Wortley, George Saintsbury.

Yes Greg, I have "A Passion For Grouse". Some of my good friends are featured in it.

Dean, I just finished reading "The Upland Alleghenies" by Bob Fala, who is now the WV DNR head, taking over for Frank Jezorio. Not a classic by any means, but enjoyable read. I had planned on reading That's Ruff at the beach in Sept just before my 2 week UP trip. May I suggest Timberdoodle Tales by Tom Waters and "Afield" by Robert DeMott. Mark Jeffery Volk wrote at least 5 books on grouse hunting/trout fishing, The Winding Ridge Trilogy, and Pages from a Mountain Journal,1 and2. I have 60-70 books on basically upland pursuits--far from a library of works, but I have made it my goal to go back and read every one of them again. There is this damn thing called the internet that keeps me from reading as much as I would like. See you at the Southern

Do you have Ted Lundrigans 3 grouse books, they are a fun read.
