The Compleat Waterfo(u)Wler

Being a duck/goose hunting guide, I don't very often read guidebooks but a client gave me a this book for Christmas. I think ol' Buck has spent maybe a little too much time in the blind at times but his book is very funny, especially when he describes why its better to use a pig than a dog as a retriever.

Buck has knocked the stuffing out of the serious stuff about waterfowling. He prefers to hunt with a pig, wonders about the same goofy things all duck hunters do when the birds aren't flying and shows that good humor is key to any enjoyment of a field sport. Buy this book - there are spoofs in this book that will make a serious hunter laugh out loud. My dad did.

I have bought this for all my hunting partners and we laugh about it every time we are out. It is a very funny look at a sport that if you step back and look at you might question your sanity. Here is guy that some how gets to the humor of the sport and reminds us not to take it to serious. Now my Yellow Lab is still miffed about the idea of a pig and would like to say a few words if he could type! Lets face it we have all hunted with dogs that were not to smart! I learned a few things form it as itJoe well research and has enough humor to make it a good read. The art work is great too! This is goofy look at a sort of goofy sport. This is the type of guy you would like to spend time in a blind with on slow day! What a laugh.
