A wonderful walk with a fellow bird hunter. Mr. Schultz does a fine job with his collection of stories that touches all the emotions as a good book will do. A touch of how to that is helpful but not overwhelming as the stories unfold in many different subject from the world of bird hunting. You get a lot of useful info from traveling and learning about the different bird species around the U.S. Then again the author does not shy away from luck playing a part in so much of hunting something wild. Well done Mr. Schultz, didn't surprise me as you wrote from the heart with plain old fashioned truth!!!!!

Endless October is a wonderful collection of stories told by a true traveling bird hunter. This collection of stories by Randy Schultz is a fun read & contains information that is useful to beginners to the sport as well as seasoned veterans. Randy hits on all the things that make our sport magic! He also covers many of the mistakes that we have all made in the field. Haven’t we all been hung up in a barbed wire fence or beat up by cactus? The only way to learn is to put your dog out there & burn boot leather. As You read you will understand that you are gonna mess up so just learn from it & enjoy our sport. Also contained in these stories is information about hunting across the country - how to do it & what to expect on the road & in the field and all the prep & research that goes with it. I was especially impressed by Randy’s description of his first major field trial win. Mr. Schultz nailed all the emotions that go with hunting your old hound against the best! A well trained wild bird dog doesn’t know that he can be beat. That’s a human emotion. Well done Mr. Schultz. I hope that you add to this collection!

I read this book on a Friday night in one sitting. Randy tells a good story. I love the diversity of the birds and the cover that Randy describes, grouse in the Great Lakes states, sharpies and Huns in Montana, scaled quail in Texas and New Mexico. My favorite chapter was about Bo, the English Setter, in the Quail Unlimited Field Trial. You gotta love a dog that doesn’t have no in his heart! I also loved reading about Randy taking a generous limit of ruffs over his Brittany’s points. Oh, and I laughed out loud reading about Randy’s $200 guns. This book is a great read! I highly recommend it.

This book was a gift for my dad, a good friend of the author's. He absolutely loved it! There were stories about field trials my dad was at and places they hunted together. He really enjoyed reading it.

I bought this book and could not put it down. Randy put his heart into it and you can tell it’s written by someone that’s as passionate about bird dogs as they are for this wonderful thing we call Upland Bird Hunting! It’s a must have if you enjoy bird dogs and bird hunting.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bird hunter's memories.

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2019

I got this book shortly after it was published. It is an entertaining read. It evokes so many memories of hunting quail with my dad and my brothers. From the thick woods to the open fields, just to be outside was like a small piece of eternity. Each story tells a tale of companionship and the deep love that develops between a man and his dog through years of working and enjoying life together. There is joy, humor, and even sadness. I highly recommend this to all bird hunters and dog lovers in general.

Endless October and Endless October Season 2

 

For a traveling bird hunter, October is heaven on Earth. It's the author's favorite month. He is a story-teller, dog trainer, wingshooter, and wandering bird dog man. Every fall, he turns his truck north and west to match wits with grouse, pheasant, quail, and Chukar. He takes us through the years and the dogs. He tells the stories of coveys flushing, roosters cackling, quail running, shotguns, family, and even one unlucky yard chicken. He will take you west to Montana, Idaho, and Arizona, north to Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, and south to Georgia. You can feel the wind, hear the exploding flush, smell the prairie, see the sunset, and taste sweet victory in the win. The journey isn't without a few bumps in the road, as Randy learns as much from his dogs as they do from him. From season to season, puppies grow up, dogs hit their prime, and old dogs die, but through it all, the yearning and the restlessness aren't satisfied until that glorious month of October.  

Season 2 in the life of a traveling bird hunter. Randy brings us more exciting stories of hunting across the country with his bird dogs. One dog gets lost in the desert of New Mexico, and a frantic search goes on for more than a week. One old campaigner hunts the mountains of southern Arizona like he's a bullet-proof three year old again -- right to the point of a thirty foot fall off a rock face. One old girl proves intelligence and desire can make up for lost youth. All these stories, and more, will get your heart pumping, your head nodding in agreement, and may even wet your eyes occasionally. Randy's goal is to make it to heaven in a cloud of dust, sliding to a halt, and exclaiming, "Wow! What a ride! Thank you, Jesus!" This book, the second one, so far, shows that he is a little farther down that road, and even more excited than ever!

Endless October Season 2 (Proof)

Dedication

This book is dedicated to the everyday bird hunters. The men or women who buy a dog, train it, and hunt it. They overcome fear, uncertainty, and financial obstacles along the way. They fear failure, training the wrong way, and lost or hurt dogs. They experience uncertainty about where to hunt, how to hunt, how to shoot, and how to handle and care for the dog. They have financial obstacles in buying equipment, guns, trucks, and traveling. And, despite all that, they load up, drive out, put dogs out, and, overcome a real fear of the unknown day ahead with a dog on the ground. They slide a few shells into their shotgun, turn into the cold breeze, and step forward into a brand-new adventure. They don’t field trial, blog, post, message, video, or share. They bond with their dog to become a predator team. They harvest the bounty that God provides, and they put meat on the table. This book is for them.
