Doves and Dove Shooting

Hardcover, 243 Pages. First published in 1949, this classic book features Byron Dalrymples penchant for observing, hunting and photographing this elegantly fashioned bird. This sleek, swift mourning dove was the presiding celebrity of the dove-pigeon tribe when this book was originally written, and it is the same today. It was the nation's number one game bird half a century ago, and still is. The mourning dove is the only U.S. game bird that nests in all 48 contiguous states.
