Found Stories Of The Old Duck Hunters

A Trilogy of Old Duck Hunter Association stories was compiled by Willow Creek Press during the second half of the 21st century. Editor Zack Taylor and MacQuarrie fans found most of the magazine stories, but not all. Found Stories of the Old Duck Hunters brings you six more ODHA stories never before offered in a book, and 20 other magazine articles of MacQuarrie's adventures with friends other than Mr. President. The earliest of these stories have been out of print for over 90 years! MacQuarrie, recognized as one of the best outdoors sports writers of his time, wrote for national outdoor magazines from 1931 to 1956. Most of these stories are set in his native Wisconsin, all about the captivating vagaries of human behavior and the natural world while hunting ducks or ruffed grouse and chasing trout and bass, but some are set in Canada, Alaska and other states. MacQuarrie wrote with authenticity and humor during a time of awakening conservation, a time when taking of wild game was changing from necessity to recreation. Together with two books of MacQuarrie's newspaper columns, Right Off The Reel and Dogs, Drink and Other Drivel, this book completes a second trilogy of MacQuarrie works, this time published by Barnes Area Historical Association Press (bahamuseum.org).
