Ultimate Guide to Calling and Decoying Waterfowl

by Monte Burch

The sport of hunting ducks and geese is alive and quite well in North America, thanks in large part to a resurgence of waterfowl numbers, which, in turn, can be traced to conservation groups such as Ducks Unlimited and Delta Waterfowl, Inc., as well as to sportsmen who impose limits on themselves far stricter than those issued by the law.

Assembling the gear, fixing the decoys, working with the Labs and Chesapeakes, caring for the firearms, fixing the blinds or duck boats, and always looking for more hotspots to hunt, waterfowlers are a breed unto themselves.

In these pages, read how to become adept at all aspects of duck and goose hunting-how to set the decoys in various conditions, how to call for the various species at different times of the year, how to get out there on the marsh or grain field and collect birds.

I don’t really read a lot. I choose this book because I am really into all kinds of hunting. I like duck hunting a lot and wanted to learn how to call in ducks better and how to have a good decoy spread. So I ordered the book that looked like it had all of the information that I need. I think that the book ended up as I expected. I did learn everything I wanted to learn and needed to learn about duck hunting. All-in-all I enjoyed this book a lot because it was something that interested me. It also taught me how to be a better duck hunter as well and told me what I can do to be a better duck hunter.

One thing people might not like about the book is if they know how to call in ducks already. They will not want to read and learn about something that they already know how to do. I think that if they know how to call in ducks but not very good they might like it. But otherwise I think that they will not like it because they already know how to do it. They also might like reading books about hunting so it might not matter if they already know it or not because they just enjoy reading about that stuff so it doesn't really matter to them.

One thing I liked about the book is the fact that it is about something that I like and like to m do. It makes me like the book because it is about what I like. Another thing is that it teaches me things that i wanted to know. It helped me out a lot. All in all I liked the book a lot and would recommend it to more people.

I liked everything about the book because it is about things that I like and enjoy doing. It was cool that they showed you how to the duck call and what the calls names were. It was a really good book and I liked everything about it.

People that like to hunt and like duck hunting a lot would really enjoy this book. People that don’t like hunting would not like this book at all. They are probably against shooting animals as well. I think hunting is fun and some types of hunting are challenging. This was all in all a really good book and you would like it if you like hunting.
