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.

Download or read book A Fall of Woodcock written by Tom Huggler and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fall of woodcock into a covert you have either chosen or to which you have been directed is a magic all its own,” Tom Huggler writes in this book devoted to the woodcock and to those who await the return to their favorite coverts each autumn. This book, with a new introduction by Charley Waterman, casts a similar spell as it chronicles Tom’s travels to New England, the Maritimes, Maine, Louisiana, then back to his beloved Michigan in search of a better understanding of the woodcock, and finally, a better understanding of himself. Like the annual migratory flights of the woodcock, A Fall of Woodcock follows no particular line, but rather meanders along the main currents and causeways of Huggler’s life, dropping down here and there in places that both sustain it and give it meaning. It covers his early hunting years, old friends and new ones, four-legged partners, woodcock researchers, and a visit with H. G. “Tap” Tapply. Huggler also traces his evolution from a run-and-gun birder to a slower but surer hunter who sets his own pace and his own bag limits. Those familiar with the magic and mystery of the American woodcock are sure to find a kindred spirit here.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Fielding Lewis's love of hunting began at the age of six when his grandmother gave him his first BB gun. He spent much of his teen years hunting and observing wildlife and nature with his father. After marrying and returning from the air force, he worked as a mill lumber inspector and plant operator. He purchased a lumberyard that he operated for thirteen years. After selling the lumberyard, he became the editor of a small weekly newspaper in Franklin, Louisiana. His ability to express himself in the written word blossomed into this, his first book, a result of ten years of note taking.

Book excerpt: A Hunter’s Fireside Book, originally published in 1972, is a timeless celebration of the hunting and outdoorsman lifestyle. For decades, Gene Hill’s articles and books have captured the spirit of the outdoors in a way that inspires and entertains millions of readers.

Hill uses humor, wisdom, and passion to give voice to experiences, memories, and loves shared by so many sportsmen for their craft, their pastime, their lifestyle. A Hunter’s Fireside Book captures the essence of the life of a sportsman and explores the full spectrum of the hunter’s experience: from sunrises in the duck blind, to an unforgettable hunter’s moon, to the camaraderie of men who know the pleasures of being wet and cold and a little bit lost. Articulate and sophisticated, yet down-to-earth and accessible, Hill’s writing makes him a fan-favorite amongst hunting enthusiasts of all ages.
