Big December Canvasbacks is an almost poetic celebration of the beautiful waterfowl of the northwest United States and the captivating places they inhabit. Mathewson, whose writing has regularly appeared in such publications as Field and Stream, has an uncanny ability to take us to the heart of what motivates us to pursue these beautiful animals. The book is lavishly illustrated with line art and will make the perfect gift for any waterfowler.

A nice blend of interesting stories and hunting information.,

This review is from: Big December Canvasbacks, Revised (Paperback)
When I ordered this book I was looking for some reading about Canvasback ducks. If that is your interest in this book you will be fooled as I was. There is relatively little specific material about the species. However, Mr Mathewson has done a nice job of informing the reader about hunting waterfowl on the northwest coast. He talks of the various birds as well as the tools used to pursue them in that region. His ability to inform the reader at the same he reports a story from his past is enjoyable to say the least. The pencil sketches of Mr. Hagerbaumer add to these stories. For me, I was sad when I finished the book, which is an indication of my appreciation of it.

One of the greatest Waterfowling Books,

This review is from: Big December Canvasbacks, Revised (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. It is spoken as if Worth was relating his stories to a friend. I will be getting a sneakboat this fall and was made even more anxious by reading the accounts of brant and wigeon landing right on top of these crafts! David Hagerbaumer's artwork is a great addition to this book. His sketches are amazing! If you liked this book, try to find a copy of Hagerbaumer's Waterfowling These Past Fifty Years, Especially Brant. It is a great book based in the same area.

This review is from: Big December Canvasbacks, Revised (Paperback)
Being a fairly new waterfowl hunter I was loaned a copy of this book by my hunting partner. Upon returning it I felt I needed to add this to my library. "Big December Canvasbacks" gave me the insight of someone who has hunted to coastal areas of my beautifal state of Oregon. I live on the coast and hunt in some of the same circumstances as the author. Fantastic reading.
