Anyone who has spent time hunting ruffed grouse knows that this bird presents one of the most difficult challenges for any gun dog. Extremely wary; given to early, explosive flushes; and running ahead of the hunter, grouse routinely shame all but the best of bird dogs. But it is to dogs capable of handling such challenges that Dick Weaver had devoted his life and career. Here, he not only offers invaluable training tips but shares his hunting experiences.

The content of this book is a mixture of hunting experiences, heavy on ruffed grouse and woodcock throughout the coverts of The Lake States, Canada and Appalachia, with a dash of wild quail from the nation's heartland. The whole book expresses real life experiences, joy and tribulations of the interactions of hunters and their dogs as they pursue these birds through the classic upland coverts.

Day in and day out, that's where the ducks are, and that's where Smith takes you. He lays out the different techniques, decoys, calling, gear, weather, dog skills, bird species, and expectations for these quiet and intimate spots. And in a sport where more is often viewed as better, Smith weaves personal hunting stories throughout, emphasizing the important role ethics play for the modern-day waterfowler, and how a full bag limit isn't the end goal but rather icing on the cake.
