Beginning with a discussion of hunting arms and the general principles of hunting, Pulling proceeds to describe the most appropriate tools, techniques and tactics for bagging every important species of American game bird and big or small game animal. The second section concerns the goals, practice and problems involved in the management of these same species and the basic ecological considerations that are involved.
