Editorial Reviews

Review

George Reiger captures the history and poetry of captures the history and poetry of waterfowling as no other writer has done. -- Nelson Bryant, The New York Times

From the Back Cover

The Complete Book of North American Waterfowling is a vivid, memorable portrait of the world of waterfowl hunting - from its earliest days through the emergence of the market hunter to the time of the modern hunter and conservationist.In this extremely informative work, the author gives the reader insight into the natural history of the major ducks and geese, together with advice on how to hunt them in areas ranging from the Far North to the Gulf Coast. Reiger also includes a thorough look at such popular adjuncts of the sport as the craft of the decoy and waterfowling prints. In all, this is an indispensable addition to any waterfowler's library, from the novice to the expert. (7 X 10, 304 pages, b&w photos, illustrations)

JAMES M. HOMME (OGDEN DUNES, INDIANA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Book of North American Waterfowling (Paperback)
A well researched treatise on all aspects of the world of ducks from ancient times to today. Great hunting stories as well as listing the problems of duck propragation, diseases and solutions. I loved the quote from Van Campen Heilnerat the end it's one of my favorite stories along with A.C Bent's tale of "Skunk Heads" both in Kortright's "The Ducks, Geese and Swans of North America.
