Tales of New England bird hunting by an acclaimed novelist and sportsman.

In this collection of original stories, highly acclaimed novelist and outdoor writer William Tapply shares his finest stories of bird hunting in the Northeast country. Every season for over 30 years, Tapply has hunted the fields and backcountry of New England. Tapply’s warmth and knack for evoking the subtle, telling details of the places and hunts that he loves will stir a new appreciation and excitement in every listener.

With his dog Burt, Tapply takes the listener out to his best spots. These are hard-charging tales of success and disappointment, anticipation, and triumph - familiar feelings to any experienced hunter. Tapply combines passion, wisdom, and wit in the nearly twenty stories presented in Upland Autumn. With rich prose and Tapply’s strong eye for detail, this book is a fine testament to bird hunting, bird hunters, and the rugged country that they tread each and every season. For those who love to hunt and those who simply love great outdoor writing, this is Upland Autumn.

For hunter who hunt with there heart then there mind.

This is a book for hunters over age 50 min. Not that young hunters will not like, but it is like seeing the end of a movie first or reading the last pages of a good book. I had to stop and shut it off several times. I could not hear any more of it which brought many personal memories of my life as a hunter.
I do not know if the author will ever read this, but if you do you owe a box of tissues. A full life afield should bring tears to the eyes of a person ho thinks of the gifts of friendship given to you by the few who really matter to one. I can only hope to have a few shed over my memory of my friends. Thank you for helping me remember of the people and times. I owe much more.
Yes it is a very fine book. Enjoy

What did you like best about this story?

This book took me to a different place, in a different time, hunting a different quarry, and I absolutely loved it. Made me long for those hunters who took the time to introduce me to the woods.

Great collection of hunting stories

Narrator does a great job of re-telling these bird hunting stories. You will enjoy this book if you cobsider yourself a grouse shortener, turkey hunter or pursue pheasant.

Another great book by William Tapply!

If you've ever had a devoted hunting companion this book will warm your heart. Each story reminds me of time spent with mine. Thanks to Bill for writing this fantastic book and thanks to Clay for allowing me to "read" these words while driving to and from my favorite patches of woods.

Great bird hunting read

Maybe it’s me but I feel this book really makes you stop and think. Of the way things were, how our mind’s picture is of upland bird hunting. The whats and what boys. I give it thumbs up for this book.

Got me day dreaming at work

There were many moments in this story that made me smile and remember my first times bird hunting.

Great book

As a avid upland bird hunter in 2021 at 31 years old I can relate to and agree with what is written in this book.

Whimsical and realistic

You get transported to a beautiful world with this one. If you hunt this is what you always wish you’d read about. 1st chapter will captivate you and draw you in. It gets better and better.
