A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Art of Duck Shooting. The wild rice dips, the wild bends, And rustles in the breeze, As down the marsh the west wind sends, I ts message from the trees. BY EENEST MCGAFFEY. Duck shooting is a science; likewise an art. The seasoned duck shooter smiles at the quail hunter, the snipe shooter, and the man who eases around in a buck-board after prairie chickens. They are mostly parlor shooters in his opinion. Whisper, now men take their lives in their hands quite a bit who follow the sport of duck shooting. The marshes and lakes take something of a toll of human life in that respect, and more than a few good staunch fellows have gone under in the sink-holes, perished from exposure, or drowned in sight of shore while following their favorite hobby. You need to be some resemblance to a man to go after ducks year in and year out. Spring shooting has mostly been cut out; and a good thing, too. Some lively sessions I have seen occasionally, in the Spring time, when the ice came down on the blinds. Narrow squeaks at times, and rowing aimlessly in sudden blizzards, stiff ringers grabbing at ice-mailed decoys, and squalls that made gathering dead birds no childs play. Well, Ive weathered it, but I just make bold to say in passing that you need to be a good swimmer, a good man with a pair of oars, and as tough as a leather hinge to stand the racket.

This l)ook is jtresented to the siiortsmeii aiid (hick huntors of America as the combination of the efforts of several writers. It is a council of the experts. Former works of this character gave a description of the plumage of wild-fowl. I think I have adopted a far better plan by giving a colored plate of the bird in its natural colors. I have also added plates of several other of our principal game birds besides wild-fowl. I have to thank the following writers for assisting me: Ernest McG affey, Victoria, British Columbia. Ross KiNER, Prophetstown, I llinois. R. P. Holland, A tchison, Kansas. J. F. Parks. Hot Springs, South Dakota. Herbert K. Job, West Haven, Connecticut. Edmund W. Weis, M. D., Ottawa, I llinois. Flossie Ray, Olive Hill, Kentucky. George Tj. Hopper. Buckabush, Washington.
