Contributor(s):Author: Pat WrayA Chukar Hunters Companion will help get you ready for a successful hunting trip, then go along to make sure you enjoy it. Pat Wray has the heart of a hunter, the gift of a writer and his ever-present sense of humor sparkles throughout the text. This is not just a hunters book; it is a readers pleasure. Companion opens with well-researched information about the bird itself, then launches in to the books underpinning, the how-to section. Wray takes you from physical conditioning through the gear youll need, then into the hunt itself. He looks carefully at the entire hunting process, from deciding on a location to caring for your birds. Wrays essays, sprinkled lightly throughout the text, are funny, introspective, heartwarming and thought-provoking. They are the spice on a wonderfully fulfilling reading experience.
