[M. Shipley · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an excellent guide to hunting ducks and geese. It focused specifically on Ducks, but everything that was said is applicable to both. It is an easy read with funny lines in it endearing self deprecating sense of humor. It is a must read for anyone who likes to hunt waterfowl.

Many people may not like the book, "Hunting Ducks and Geese" by Steve Smith, but it is personally one of my favorites. The book is documentary styled about hunting ducks and geese. The author, Steve, tells many of his own experiences during his hunting career that lives on. He also gives many tips and advice on how to duck call, how to set up your decoys and blind, gun safety and how to shoot properly, etc. I could relate to so many of the ideas he wrote about because I am a duck hunter myself. I would not recommend this book to any animal lovers or vegans as it may be highly offensive.
