Grouse Feathers

This book is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the sport, and it would make for a great addition to collections of allied literature.

I loved it. If you are a grouse hunter, this will resonate. Enjoy

[Drew Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you enjoy the stories of aged men recounting a lifetime spent in the woods then Grouse Feathers is for you. Burton Spiller’s tales are engaging and pleasantly reminiscent of an era of hunting and dog work that I will never know.

I read this book every fall and have done so since 1972.

a nice reflective account of grouse and upland hunting , like talking with an old friend or Grandfather, lots of wisdom and good stories.

There is a reason this book is considered a classic. This was my third reading and I have enjoyed it more each time. Spiller's ability to write about his outdoor adventures is like sitting next to a fireplace in a north woods cabin listening to your grandfather tell stories about his dogs and days in the field long before you were born. Wonderful!
