Grouse and Lesser Gods

After Minnesota lawyer Ted Nelson Lundrigan wowed the sporting community with his now classic Hunting the Sun, wingshooting readers eagerly awaited his second book, Grouse and Lesser Gods. Part hunting credo, part philosophy of life, this book will let you traipse with Ted into his coverts with his beloved dogs in pursuit of the always elusive roughed grouse. Along the way, he shares his experiences hunting, his love of his dogs, and more personal insights into raising children and his appreciation of the natural world--proving that bird hunters are often quite thoughtful and introspective.

When he's not practicing law, Ted Nelson Lundrigan wanders the hills of his native territory in Minnesota. He has contributed to several wingshooting magazines, including Shooting Sportsman, Pointing Dog Journal, Gun Dog, Wildfowl, and Sporting Classics. He lives in Pine River, Minnesota.
