Description:

Timberdoodle! is an affectionate and authoritative portrait of the woodcock, one of America's great game birds. First published in the mid-seventies and long out of print, Timberdoodle! has risen to the rank of classic among knowledgeable sportsmen.

Here is a wealth of information, hunting lore, and personal anecdote, all in Woolner's inimitable style, about this poltergeist with the pointed beak and clownlike eyes - along with every bit of practical advice the woodcock hunter needs. There is a thorough treatment of the natural history of the American woodcock, the unique hunting strategies and the dogs, guns, and techniques of this popular brand of upland shooting.

But the book is more. It is a celebration of a man's favorite hunt, and everywhere it radiates his skill and enthusiasm, from the preparations to the moment a timberdoodle bursts from the thickets.

There is even a special chapter - with contributions from "Tap" Tapply, A. J. McClane, and others - on preparing woodcock for the table. (7 X 101/4, 196 pages, b&w photos)
