This book documents the biology of six species of New World quails that are native to North America north of Mexico (mountain, scaled, Gambel's, California, and Montezuma quails, and the northern bobwhite), three introduced Old World partridges (chukar, Himalayan snowcock, and gray partridge), and the introduced common (ring-necked) pheasant. Collectively, quails, partridges, and pheasants range throughout all of the continental United States and the Canadian provinces. Two of the species, the northern bobwhite and ring-necked pheasant, are the most economically important of all North American upland game birds. All of the species are hunted extensively for sport and are highly popular with naturalists, birders, and other outdoor enthusiasts.

A comprehensive survey of American game bird species and hunting practices. The astonishingly rapid increase of population in the United States has resulted in an equally startling decrease in America's game birds.As game becomes more scarce the importance of preserving it gradually becomes more appreciated. Yet the reality is that in a thickly settled regions it is very difficult to efficiently protect the game.A number of people have been trying to accomplish something to protect game birds and the promise of good results is brighter than it has been. Sportsmen devoted to the ethics of sport, and successful in pursuit of game want to know all they can about the life ways of the beautiful birds in an effort to advance the knowledge required to deal with this problem. American Game Bird Shooting provides is an extraordinary reference tool for the American sportsman.
