The stories in this anthology demonstrate why the pheasant has become America's favorite game bird. Some of the finest writers in the field take their best shots at the Ringneck, covering guns, dogs, lore, history, conservation, and even some tried and true methods for preparing your pheasant for consumption.

Gathered here are many of the finest contemporary sporting writers: George Bird Evans, Charles Waterman, Gene Hill, Michael Mcintosh, Jim Fergus, and many others. Each offers a story of his singular relationship with the dog (or dogs) that shaped his life.
