"Archibald Rutledge is truly one of the all-time great dog writers, and Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways brings to light some of his earliest and best works. Many of the stories assembled here are from the 30s, 40s, and 50s, and are told with such depth and detail that you'll be taken back to those simpler times afield. This is a must-read collection."―Hunting magazine
"Jim Casada has compiled and edited a wonderful collection of writing from Archibald Rutledge [that] captures . . . his years pursuing grouse in Pennsylvania's Allegheny Mountains . . . and his quail hunting in and around his beloved Hampton Plantation."―Gray's Sporting Journal
"Although Jim Casada often refers to Archibald Rutledge as the 'master of twice-told tales,' Casada himself surely must be the master of knowing which tales are worth retelling. In this collection of bird-dog stories reprinted from Rutledge's archive, Casada offers a glimmer of hope for the game birds, and the bird hunters who pursue them, that a new generation, one that sadly had to grow up without the sweet whistle of bobwhites in the spring, will be inspired by these stories of bird hunting days at their best."―Joey Frazier, editor, South Carolina Wildlife magazine
"As a Yankee who's been making hunting forays into the Southeast just the last decade, I enjoy Archibald Rutledge's insight into the rich world of Dixie's hunting culture and his unique, old-world diction. My friend Jim Casada makes the experience of reading Rutledge that much more enjoyable and understandable with his insightful introductions to each tale."―Mark Herwig, editor, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever magazines
