Duck Shooting Along the Atlantic Tidewater

Duck Shooting Along the Atlantic Tidewater by Eugene V. Connett. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780517016466.

Author of half a dozen books on hunting and fishing, and former head of Derrydale Press, Mr. Connett has edited numerous sporting books. In "Duck Shooting," he has produced, with the aid of sixteen prominent sportsmen, a comprehensive and distinguished volume on the subject of wildfowling. It is at once an authentic history of the sport, enriched by anecdotes told by old-time gunners, and a practical study that covers every aspect of the science and art of duck shooting. The reproductions in full color of the paintings by Lynn Bogue Hunt and Dr. Burke are superb - truly representative of the engravers art. The sixty-four full pages of reproductions of photographs and the drawings in line are not only interesting, but extremely useful to the gunner. Whatever the gunners special interest, here is a volume that is certain to provide an inspiring addition to his store of useful information and cherished memories of the sport.
