From the Introduction …
The object of this book is not to bore my readers with personal yarns and experiences but· to give definite information in the fewest words possible on how to Hunt, Fish and Camp.
I am confining the territory to Maine; however, the same instructions and rules apply to all sections of the country where the same fish and game are found.
To make this book just as brief as possible, I am dealing only with major information. Minor details are easily learned by practice. The instructions are so condensed that the reading time of the whole book is only 85 minutes.
If you have youngsters coming on, let them read this book. The information is just as important as many school textbooks.
I am a firm believer in the conservation of all fish and game and the strict enforcement of all game laws. To my mind hunting and fishing is the big lure that takes us into the great open spaces and teaches us to forget the mean and petty things of life.
Chapter 8: How to Hunt Ruffed Grouse
The ruffed grouse, more commonly known as “partridge,” is found in every section of the State of Maine. It is probably more abundant and more widely distributed here than anywhere else in the country. The bird is found deep in the big woods and in covers only a short distance from towns and cities.
There are two kinds of grouse in Maine – smart and foolish. The latter are so tame that they can be shot on the ground or on the limbs of trees with a pistol or rifle. These are the birds found in the big woods. They are identical in every way with those found in the settled areas except that they have no fear of humans.
