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.

Editorial reviews

Acclaimed novelist and outdoor writer William Tapply presents a series of wonderfully-observed stories about his adventures while bird hunting in the Northeast country. The stories are rich with insight not just on nature and hunting, but also on the bond between parent and child as Tapply recalls hunting experiences with his son.

Narrator Clay Teunis imbues his performance with muscular charm, placing listeners right in the midst of the rugged country that Taply clearly loved so much. Listeners will easily imagine that they are sitting with a friendly, seasoned old-timer sharing his wry and thoughtful recollections.

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

For hunter who hunt with there heart then there mind.

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.

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.

Another great book by William Tapply!

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.

Whimsical and realistic
