Grouse Hunting Addict: George Bird Evans
Reading through George Bird Evans' book, The Upland Shooting Life, during vacation a few weeks ago I was struck at how Evans masterfully describes at how we bird hunters feel…
"When I think of shooting, which is often, I think of grouse. For if woodcock shooting is one of my delights and pheasant shooting a dalliance, grouse shooting is my addiction."
Addiction yes. I am lying on a beach in the Caribbean reading about busting the bush in northern climes in sturdy boots instead of a Speedo and flip-flops. Addicition yes. I suppose I am lucky to have both.
