Summary: It's the recipe, stupid
Comment: The book is spot-on in getting to the essence of a hunter, a dog and a game bird that is every bit intoxicating in the mind as in the field.
But . . . there's this other thing. The recipe for cooking and serving roast pheasant at the back of the book. It's written like a passage from scripture. It tastes like the ascension into heaven.
Rating: 5
Summary: A story of one man's search for more than just a bird.
Comment: In Pheasants of the Mind, Mr. Proper explores not only his personal, and quite entertaining, exploits while chasing pheasants, but he also covers the fairly esoteric subject of pointing dogs for pheasants and outfitting for a successful hunt, based on the culmination of years of experience. A fascinating read, written in fairly complex tongue. If you love pheasants and fine literature, then you should love Pheasants of the Mind.
Rating: 5
Summary: A great hunting book.
Comment: I have read scores of outdoor books and this is one of the best. Proper's writing transcends the genre. His references to mythology brings hunting literature into a larger realm and shows us more than we guessed about ourselves. The precious sounding title was a turnoff until I read the book and saw how it reflected the text. It combines instruction and the pleasure of pheasant hunting in an exemplary way. The line drawings are good too, at least,in the original edition. I haven't seen the reprint.
