| Anyone ever read this for hunting? I'm looking to supplement this with the online Ducks at a Distance version. Taking Waterfowl ID class next week. This book out of stock here. Anyone know who else sells it? |

You probably don't want to hear this but the best method is to learn in the field.
I started duck hunting 22 years ago. I read every book I could get my hands on and finally realized that going to an impoundment or DU Marsh Project WITHOUT a shotgun was the best way to learn them. Another thing I did was volunteer on a Christmas Bird Count put on by the DNR. Good luck! |

Caption Obvious Speaking-
Size, Color, and flight pattern will tell you what they are. / rant Look at the most common waterfowl you have and watch them - from there you'll be able to identify your #1. No matter the duck you should be able to tell what it is, 90% of the time, just outside of shooting range (in flight) The other 10% are those little teal that zip in at 60mph and you gotta lead them like 6 feet or more- easier to identify those after you've shot'em.
