"This book reveals field-proven techniques for getting wildlife into range of gun or camera. It is also a reliable guide to the behavior of birds and animals, offereing insights that elevate calling from a chance sport to an exciting art-science.

Calling has many facets. The author explains how to interpret your quarry's sounds and how to recognize messages subtly conveyed through its body parts. He shows you how to take advanatage of a creature's dominant physical senses based on what you observe and hear. He teaches you how to 'talk' your quarry's own language by imitating appropriate sample sounds, spelled phonetically in the book. And he illustrates how to employ many soundless 'calls' that attract wildlife by visual means."
