5.0 out of 5 stars
Greatest "how to" book on the title subject ever written!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Duck Decoys and How to Rig Them (Hardcover)
Duck hunters are a critical lot when it comes to reviewing
books on the subject. Most primers on rigging duck decoys
are either so basic that the knowledge gained is superceded
by hunting experiences very rapidly. Coykendall's book is a
timeless masterpiece. The techniques described are easy to
understand for beginners, yet should be employed by master
hunters because they work well! The pen-in-ink illustrations
are excellent and could be photocopied to take into the
field. If you are a serious hunter over decoys, this is the
book you must have! It was the first book I ever read on
hunting, and I wish that I had a copy today after 35 years.
It should be reprinted again and again!

Outdated but a good history of the sport,
By A Customer
This review is from: Duck Decoys: And How to Rig Them (Paperback)
Seriously needs an update. Talks about wooden decoys as the state-of-the-art and fails to note a number of advances we enjoy in the 1998. Would be a good resource for the beginner to get a few of the basics down like do not move in the blind and camoflauge is necessary.

Insightful, well written information for waterfowl hunting,
By A Customer
This review is from: Duck Decoys: And How to Rig Them (Paperback)
Very good information on how to select, rig anduse decoys for the pursuit of waterfowl. Also good information on blinds and how to use them. Originaly composed by a hunter who spent his days with the market gunners of yesteryear.
