Rating: Summary: Nice Introduction or Reference Review: I suppose that if you're buying a book to learn "how" to hunt ducks, then you are (like me) already at a disadvantage. So much in waterfowling is dependent on tradition, community, and access, so there are natural barriers to entry for the novice.This book does an excellent job providing basic coverage of key duck hunting issues, but it is (of course) not a substitute for a good mentor or listening to some old timers yack about their previous seasons. Of particular worth are the decoy spreads and the overview of different hunting venues. But perhaps the greatest contribution is the insight on duck-hunting lingo. I was unaware that I was a puddle jumper without a milk run, who had dabbled at pass shooting, but now I know. Seriously, for those of us stuck in a rut hunting farm ponds, the introductions to river, lake, and flooded timber are intriguing and motivating. The basic waterfowl information is useful, and the various tips, tricks & techniques are all serviceable. This is a very nice introduction for the new hunter, and should serve nicely as a reference volume for those with more experience.
