George Bird Evans, renowned for his expertise in upland bird hunting and his deep love for dogs, offers two classic guides in The Grouse Book and The Woodcock Book.
-
The Grouse Book explores the habits, habitats, and hunting of ruffed grouse. Evans combines meticulous observation of the bird with practical hunting advice, all infused with his signature storytelling and love for the upland woods. Readers gain insight into bird behavior, hunting techniques, and the importance of conservation, making it both a practical guide and a celebration of the sport.

The Woodcock Book delves into the elusive woodcock, detailing its unique behaviors, migratory patterns, and the subtleties of hunting it with pointing dogs. Evans shares personal anecdotes, field strategies, and reflections on the connection between hunter, dog, and bird, capturing the poetry of upland hunting as much as its technical aspects.
Together, these works are treasured by hunters, dog enthusiasts, and anyone captivated by the rhythms of North American woodlands. Evans’s combination of practical advice, vivid storytelling, and genuine love for the outdoors makes these books enduring classics in sporting literature.
