Oh, my, gosh. I would have liked to have known Steve Grooms. Not because he was an upland game hunter, but because he was an upland game hunter.

Now, what does that mean.

Grooms writes about the number one thing necessary to being an upland game hunter: 1.) find the birds. After this arduous task, one must pursue the birds, which may involve loping through weeds and tangled underbrush for miles. This activity necessitates resting and ruminating on the beauty of the surrounding scenery.

If the hunter is lucky, he/she is pursuing birds with the help of a dog: a marvelous, trained, determined hunting dog. Or, a dog that provides you with companionship, assistance, and a lot of love.

Grooms knew how to write.

This is the best book of stories on pheasant hunting out there. There may be other pheasant hunting books that are more popular, but this book is better written with more entertaining stories. "Blizzard On The Racetrack" is one of the best hunting stories ever.

A Christmas present from a good friend that enlightened my views of chasing the wily ringneck. A collection of hunting trips with a focus on all the other things rather than just shooting birds.
