Do you love to stand in the bow of 
your skiff as it is pushed through 
the wild rice, and drop the ducks that 
get up within range; or, if you live 
by the big waters, do you enjoy sit¬ 
ting ' in the blind while cold winds 
blow and ice forms at the edge of 
the shore, watching the sky and wait¬ 
ing for something to come to your 
decoys? If you love these things, if 
you will bear work, exposure and 
hardship to get a shot, you need 
American 
Duck Shooting 
By 
GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
It gives descriptions and portraits 
of all the ducks and geese known in 
North America; tells where they are 
found; the various methods practiced 
in shooting them; describes the guns, 
loads, clothing, boats and dogs em¬ 
ployed in their pursuit, and generally 
is far and away the most complete, 
useful and entertaining volume on 
the subject that has ever been pub¬ 
lished. It covers the whole field of 
North American wild-fow'l shooting. 
The book is profusely illustrated. Not 
only has it ornithologically exact portraits 
of 58 species of swans, geese and ducks, 
but it has eight half-tone reproductions of 
some of our best-known wild ducks from 
the paintings of the great naturalist, Audu¬ 
bon, a number of full-page sketches by 
Wilmot Townsend, whose drawings of wild¬ 
fowl are inimitable, many cuts of duck 
boats and batteries, and fifty vignettes in 
the text, which add to its beautiy and its 
usefulness. It is a complete, illustrated 
manual of this fascinating sport. 
A new edition of this volume, containing 
added matter, was published July 1, 1918. 
The work is an essential part of every gun¬ 
ner’s library. 
Illustrated, buckram, 627 pp.
