locate a copy of WATERFOWLING IN THE MISSISSIPPI FLYWAY, also by Connent....
The "original" plan was for Connent to anthologize, (is that a word), books on all four flyways....unfortunately for us he only completed books on the Atlantic and the Mississippi....
Along with Van Campen Heilner's "A BOOK ON DUCK SHOOTING" the (2) Connent books, plus the more contemporary Successful Waterfowling by Zack Taylor, were my Bibles when I was getting started on my cure for my waterfowling obsession and many, if not most, of the places that I have traveled to to gun were the result of the stories in those books....
Of the two I like the Atlantic volume better but thats because it covered, in more detail, the areas, and species, that so fascinated me in Heilner's book, Brant, Black Ducks and the saltmarsh of the Eastern Seabord being heady stuff for a kid shooting Bluewings and Ringnecks in 80 degree weather in the mangroves in Florida, but that said the volume n the Mississippi Flyway is excellent as well...
Nice to see some interest in the HISTORY of the sport......
