A reformed market hunter turned his Ontario farm into a sanctuary and let the wild geese teach him. Jack Miner tells of his first pets, his faithful dogs, his Bob White quail, and the ringnecked pheasants he raised in Canada. Homespun, big-hearted conservation from a pioneer of banding. Come meet the man the geese trusted.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
