This entertaining and perceptive look at wingshooting describes the hold the sport has on millions of hunters throughout the world through its celebration of favourite fields, fine guns, trusty dog and the camaraderie of treasured friends. The author, a lifelong wingshooter, also reveals practical professional tricks for hiring booking agents and guides, choosing the right locale and equipment, packing and transporting firearms properly and legally, practising safe preventive medicine and deciding whether to take your dog (or spouse) along for the hunt.
