Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Duck Shooting and Hunting Sketches
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 fel lows 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.
