A Little Waterfowling History

[Feathers and Fins]

If you are dedicated and love waterfowling this will be a read you will enjoy. http://www.newburyportnews.com/opinion/article_deca834d-0d34-515c-85af-3f9833c583b3.html

I think a man could spend a lifetime gathering all the history of waterfowling in this country and putting it in a book and his life would not been wasted.

Good read FnF. i'll admit that i've never been much of book reader but one that i

have read and did have a hard putting down was Steve Bowman's "Arkansas Duck Hunters Almanac". Lot of cool pics from years past and full of information on the history of duck hunting and calling in Arkansas

You ever read the story of the famous Reel-foot picture?

Not the Reelfoot Lake picture but the story on they got the pic and film footage of 300,000 plus ducks on camera at the Claypool Reservoir in 1956 for the wide wide world of sports broadcast is quite interesting for the time. Although that was about 15 years before my time it's pretty interesting on what challenges they over came to get the footage. Today's modern wireless technology it wouldn't of been much of a challenge.
