Pheasant Hunting

Children's Literature - Paula Rohrlick

This easy-to-read introduction to pheasant hunting covers equipment, skills, techniques, conservation, and safety; and it offers many color photographs. The text is brief and the print size is large, with terms such as "flush" and "soil erosion" highlighted and defined at the bottom of the page. Special features include a labeled illustration of essential equipment, a recipe for Baked Pheasant, information on hunting dogs, and on the ring-necked pheasant. A glossary and a bibliography, along with information about how to access Facthound for a list of related Internet sites, round out this solid entry in the high interest-low series, "The Great Outdoors", which is appropriate for larger public libraries and schools with a population of hunters.
