This is a good beginner's guide to hunting waterfowl in North America. A brief description of various species of ducks and geese are provided along with their ranges. Also discussed are calls, decoys, and other factors of waterfowl hunting.

This book was ok. I have read lot's of hunting and fishing book and this would not be one of my favortes. It does not go into very good detail on stuff such as decoys placement what time of day to hunt weather condition or even how to tell ducks apart. but it did skim over them all very slightly.
