Book Description

September 1, 2002
The sport of hunting ducks and geese is alive and quite well in North America, thanks in large part to a resurgence of waterfowl numbers, which, in turn, can be traced to conservation groups such as Ducks Unlimited and Delta Waterfowl, Inc., as well as to sportsmen who impose limits on themselves far stricter than those issued by the law.

Assembling the gear, fixing the decoys, working with the Labs and Chesapeakes, caring for the firearms, fixing the blinds or duck boats, and always looking for more hotspots to hunt, waterfowlers are a breed unto themselves.

In these pages, read how to become adept at all aspects of duck and goose hunting-how to set the decoys in various conditions, how to call for the various species at different times of the year, how to get out there on the marsh or grain field and collect birds.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"You will find timely information on the latest guns and ammunition. And there is also valuable and timeless information about calling, setting decoys and building blinds." -- The Idaho Statesman

From the Back Cover

Waterfowling - the sport of hunting ducks and geese - is alive and quite well in North America, thanks in large part to a resurgence of waterfowl numbers - which, in turn, can be traced to conservation groups such as Ducks Unlimited and Delta Waterfowl, Inc., as well as to sportsmen who impose limits on themselves far stricter than those issued by the law.To those who participate in the sport, hunting for waterfowl is an all-consuming passion, an annual tradition looked forward to all year. Assembling the gear, fixing the decoys, working with the Labs and Chesapeakes, caring for the firearms, fixing the blinds or duckboats, and always looking for yet more hotspots to hunt, waterfowlers are a breed unto themselves.In these pages you will read how to become adept at all aspects of duck and goose hunting - how to set the decoys in various conditions, how to call for different species of ducks and geese at different times of year, how to get out there on the marsh or grain field and collect birds.In these pages, too, you'll come to understand the mystique, the tradition, and the lure of waterfowling. (6 1/4 x 9 1/4, 304 pages, color photos, b&w photos, illustrations)

This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Calling and Decoying Waterfowl: Tips and Tactics for Hunting Ducks and Geese (Hardcover)
This book gives great info on everything from advantages of certain decoys over others to stand alone blinds to decoys sets and even rigging. It also gives stratagies for hunting different parts of the season. I found this book up to date and very useful. It will save you a lot of money by stearing you away from junk products.

3.0 out of 5 stars good book for duck and goose hunters, February 18, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Lots of good information on how to set up decoy spreads for waterfowl. Also very good section on bird calling. Other sections were a little thin and dated. I would have liked more photos and information about duck hunting.
