Summary: Great Book but way out of date
Comment: American Duck Shooting by George Bird Grinnell was last updated in 1901.

George Bird Grinnell's book on goose, duck and swan hunting in the United States is 616, well indexed, pages of valuable but dated information. About two-thirds of the book is useful information to the modern hunter. Some of the techniques described are now illegal. Any advancements or changes since 1901 are not in this book.

The book is loosely broken into three sections; species accounts, hunting techniques and equipment.

This book is without value as a source of any new information that has been learned during the last 100 years. It is priceless, however, as a source of things we have forgotten over the last 100 years.

One of the redeeming features is that the entire book is written in very eloquent prose.

I rated the book as 5 stars because of the writing style; otherwise it would be between a 2 and 3 because a good portion of the book is outdated.
