Waterfowl books

Mon Mar 10, 2014 2:26 pm

Anyone read any good waterfowl hunting books?

I haven't read anything on some time, figured I could read about something I'm interested in.

Any suggestions?

What kind of books are you looking for?

Single author fiction, anthologies, how to, non-fiction, ethics, travel.....

If you want really old stuff, Wildfowling in Dakotas by Harold Duebbert; then "A Book on Duck Shooting" by Van Campen Heilner.

Old Stuff - MacQuarrie is tops. Lotta guys are infatuated with Nash Buckingham, but he was just a rich southern boy. I would hope all of us could kill a truckload of ducks on primo property down south in 1919 with a "negro" rowing the boat! Buckingham's writing is sometimes entertaining... he records the negros' speech phonically. :lol:

Ain't much modern writing worth reading.

The duck gods must be crazy and Don't shoot the decoys, both by Doug Larsen.

Misery Loves company by Bill Buckley. Its more of a picture book takes about 30 min to get through but has some good laughs and pics.

There are 4 Gordon MacQuarrie books..based mostly on Duck hunting and the old duck hunters club.,
there are others but these deal with mostly duck hunting.

Stories of the Old Duck Hunters & Other Drivel
More Stories of the Old Duck Hunters,
Last Stories of the Old Duck Hunters,
MacQuarrie Miscellany,

One of my favorite has to be the scare crow story...

I like a listening walk as well... by Gene Hill... great book. His mostly tailfeathers is not bad either.

If you want to go to what started it all... A Sand County Almanac ..not a great read at times but very enlightening.
