Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Duck and Goose Shooting: Being Duck and Goose Hunting Narratives From Celebrated Ducking Waters Each year that the duck hunter goes out he will pick up some new wrinkles from some grizzled old pusher, or from some of the canny boys that lie around the lakes. I have been at the lakes when some seasoned old pirate would sit grumblingly around the fire in early Spring, only deserting his warm place to go outside and look at the sky, or spit on his finger and hold it up to see which way the wind was blowing. Meanwhile the not so hardened shooters would be working their heads off to bring in a dozen ducks a day. Then some morning old Groucher would be missing, and would come in at night loaded to the stumbling point with ducks. He had been watching the signs. And when he got ready had poled and cut his way in to where the birds were feeding and had made a killing. That, of course, was in the old days. Days when there was no limit, either to the birds or to the number you could kill. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Duck and Goose Shooting: Being Duck and Goose Hunting Narratives From Celebrated Ducking Waters It appears but natural that a utility point of view in regard to wild-fowl should have been taken by the early settlers of the country. To a considerable extent they were dependent on wild birds and mammals for their food. If one was to have Thanksgiving turkey, for instance, he must needs go to the woods and shoot it. An old cook-book begins its receipt for making Welch rarebit with the injunction "First catch your hare." No doubt that was a very pertinent and sober remark at the time of which we write. Under such primitive conditions it is likely that nearly anything was grist which could be ground. The pioneer doubtless shot and ate in times of need, and these were many, a great number of birds which no shooter would today consider legitimate game. It requires imagination for us to realize that at one period there were times when, even in our now densely populated districts, dry powder and straight shooting were all that stood between life and starvation; yet such was undoubtedly the case. Hence it behooved these people to know what could be eaten and what could not. How greatly all this has changed! Obviously a great change was bound to come with the civilizing of the country, the diminution of game owing to its destruction for the table, and the extensive raising of poultry, with the consequent decrease in importance of game birds as food. Those conditions might perhaps account for the changed status of the game bird from an important article of food to an object of sport. But could it account for the general interest manifested among sportsmen today in game birds as to some extent our fellow creatures, full of kindred human interest? I think not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of Duck and Goose Shooting is a wonderful collection of hunting tales by sportsmen who were fortunate enough to have hunted in the golden era of waterfowling. "Whether a relic of Barbarian ancestors getting food or to exercise acquired skill with a gun it must be something imperative that causes man to forego creature comforts, brave possible sickness by exposure to inclement weather, or to brave dangers of accidental mutilation or death. But the hunt brings such an uplift of spirit, that all other sport dwindle to the vanishing point. Far be it from reason to explain. When the season comes there is an indescribable longing only satisfied by fondling a gun and examining the ammunition box. Has there ever been a duck hunter who has filled his bag, made impossible shots, gloated over the fall of birds as they hovered over the decoys who has not had almost as much pleasure in anticipation as realization? Then the night after, there passes in review the incidents of the day, the missed shot, the folding up of graceful wings, the splash of the fall, the chase of the cripple, and the satisfaction of a clean kill at 50 yards." This is a wonderful collection of stories from the golden era of waterfowling at the turn of the century.
