 Rating: - Outdoor adventuresGordon MacQuarrie passed away more than 50 years ago, but his stories are as fresh and relevant today as when they were penned more than half a century ago. People will still be reading and enjoying these stories a hundred years from now. This book contains a collection of 19 of MacQuarrie's best short stories spanning his prolific career.

Reading "Stories of the Old Duck Hunters" will first transport you to your favorite duck blind, with the early morning sun glowing through the morning mist, the winter chill misting your breath and numbing your fingers.

I can't say enough about MacQuarrie and his story telling ability. No one can describe better the experience of huddling in a pre dawn duckblind as wings whistle overhead in the darkness. Nor what it's like to feel the sure pluck of a brown trout at your fly during a spring rain. You will feel the glow of the woodstove and relish the ache in your arms that comes from rowing your boat back to the cedar cabin on a ... Read More Rating: - Stories of The Ols Duck Hunters and Other DrivelCollection of short stories dealing about hunting, fishing and life. MacQuarrie was one of our finest outdoor writers and had a way to put how many outdoorsmen really feel into words. A must read if you have any interest in the outdoor lifestyle. |
