title: Upland Autumn: Birds, Dogs, and Shotgun Shells
author:  William G. Tapply 
description: The late Tapply shows us that he is as insightful, articulate and witty when writing about hunting in New England as he is in his Brady Coyne and Stoney Calhoun mystery series.... Fans of Tapplys writing about fishing will recognize in these hunting essays Tapplys signature sensitivity to the natural world. (<strong>John Rowen - <em>Booklist</em></strong>)<br /><br />Tapply is a writer with a fine eye and an acute sense of place. (<strong><em>Boston Globe</em></strong>)<br /><br />Bill Tapply is...unassuming and funny, practical and wry. (<strong>Ted Leeson, co-author of <em>The Benchside Introduction to Fly Tying</em></strong>)<br /><br />William G. Tapply is a superstar. (<strong><em>Midwest Book Review</em></strong>)<br /><br />Bill Tapply is a terrific writer. (<strong>Jay Cassell, Deputy Editor, <em>Field &amp; Stream</em></strong>)
