ABOUT OUR COVER

"Bustin' Up - Woodcock

"I tried to capture the in-flight posture I sometimes see when a woodcock is flushed in tall, tight cover - The bird seems to 'rear back' in an attempt to climb more 'up' than 'out'. Walking in over a point, the surprise factor of this sort of shot opportunity never fails to catch me off guard."

Cover artist Steven Mulak also illustrates his own books.
Autographed copies of "Wings of Thunder - New England Grouse Hunting Revisited" or "Pointing Dogs Made Easy" are available directly from the author at 76 Loomis Drive, Chicopee, MA 01020. Each is $30. Include $2 for shipping.
