Exploring the distinction between ordinary hunting and the more nuanced art of ruffed-grouse hunting, this work delves into the intricate relationship between humans and nature. It reflects on the deeper connections and experiences that come from engaging with the environment, emphasizing the importance of conservation and ethical practices in the pursuit of wildlife. Through vivid storytelling and philosophical insights, the book invites readers to appreciate the subtleties of the natural world and their role within it.

Interweaves tales of companionable dogs, lucky hunts, and favourite coverts where quarry lurks with ruminations on the demise of hunting traditions, the sale of public lands and the privatization of places to hunt, the growing indifference to science, and the loss of wilderness on a planet increasingly transformed by the sprawl of humanity.
