It had been a hard day in the fields, for the birds were wild and wary. And when we drew up our chairs around the fire, after supper, it was with a sigh of relief to get our boots off. B told about how the old cock partridge had dodged behind a cedar, just about as soon as he got up from the covert; while P told of his surprise when he flushed a bird, and it fell to a shot from a thicket close by, just as he caught sight of it, and was just about as surprised to see P standing there with gun at ready. If you want to hear stories of gunning or fishing you want to sit over a rock maple fire in the kitchen of a camp after the day's sport is over. Lake Field and Forrest is a to visit that camp kitchen and listen to the rambles of Frank Bates. A wonderful collection of stories by this self proclaimed sportsman-naturalist. Published in 1899 his stories paint a lavish picture of a golden era of hunting and fishing that thankfully has been preserved through the journals and writings of sportsmen like Bates of that time.
