Thank you sir.  I will check it out. There was an article in the DU mag a few months ago talking about one guy who had some great books that he wrote but I can't find the old mag. I've heard his name mentioned here before too I think. I will check this one out too though. Thanks

I've been looking for a copy of it as well.

Two Authors i would recommend would be Gordon MacQuarrie, and Aldo Leapold.
Gordon Macquirrie's books are like a series of shorts stories about everything from duck hunting to fly fishing. Really easy to read.
Aldo Leopold's a Sand County Almanac is a great book.
Aldo was one of the forefathers of the conservation movement in America. Had a lot to do with daily bag limits, etc.
Of course he was a hunter too.

Just got The Outlaw Gunner by Harry M. Walsh. I know this crazy old cow lover that recommended it...
the thing about baiting is, even a rookie hunter could have a 170 bird season if they bait holes

A compilation of short stories called "The Duck Hunter's Book: Classic Waterfowl Stories" edited by Lamar Underwood.
It has many good stories by authors like Nash Buckingham, Gene Hill, Gordon MacQuarrie, Ed Zern, Bob Brister and Ted Trueblood.
Gives you a broad look at the greats so you can decide who's larger works you would like to read.
Thought for the day: Ducks were almost hunted to extinction long before camo was invented.
