Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... DUCK SHOOTING. PASS SHOOTING. Of all methods of duck shooting, that known as pass shooting is perhaps the most difficult and the most sportsmanlike. The gunner stations himself at some point where the ducks are likely to fly, and shoots them as they pass over him. This point 1ray be between two lakes or two portions of a single lake, or between roosting and feeding ground, or perhaps only near some lake at which the birds stop on their migrations. At all events, most of the shooting is overhead at swiftly flying birds, and great skill and judgment are required to make a satisfactory bag. Sometimes the gunner stands behind some cover of bushes, or he may sit or kneel in a pit dug in the ground, or at times, if the birds are newly arrived, and so are unsuspicious, he may stand out in plain view. However he may be concealed, if the shooter has been fortunate enough to secure a position in the direct line of flight, he will have interesting shooting, and will probably receive some new ideas as to the swiftness with which a duck passes through the air. Graphic accounts of this method of shooting have often been published. One of the best of these which has appeared in recent years, is from the pen of Mr. E. Hough, in Forest and Stream, in which he describes a day's shooting, in 1897, m North Dakota, as follows: At the head of the Dead Buffalo Lake there is a narrow strip of water separating it from a smaller lake above, and between this little sheltered basin and the wide, deep water, where the wild celery grows, there is a more or less constant flight of ducks. We put out our team and hastened quietly as we could down to this fly-way, seeking not to alarm the birds till we had taken our stand on the ridge between the lakes, where the rushes...

Download or read book American Duck Shooting written by George Grinnell and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-03 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Duck Shooting draws a vivid portrait of the sport's past as well as its (then) present, and with the different ways in which it has been and is practiced. It tells of an abundance of fowl in the land, not to be seen to-day, nor perhaps ever again. It contains accounts of shooting, often by unwise methods, often to unnecessary excess; which has reduced decimated our wildfowl populations. It is hoped that these accounts may serve as warnings, teaching us now moderation we were too thoughtless to embrace then.
