I never had the opportunity to meet the man, but the late Zack Taylor has always been an idol of mine. From the time I was old enough to have been smitten by the duck hunting bug, I remember reading articles written by him in old issues of Sports Afield.
Later, when I fell in love and got married, my wonderful, new Wife gave me a copy of his book- “Successful Waterfowling”. I cherish the book and have read it from cover to cover several times. I even built a boat from plans detailed in the book, the Sneakbox Widgeon. An undertaking I will never forget.
Once again, as the season draws to a close, I thought it may be a good time to share a paragraph from the book.
"Then the season closes, and I always feel a sense of relief. I eagerly look forward to the season's opening and enjoy the heck out of following the birds, but I'm always glad when the hunting ends. Enough is enough. The birds need the chance to live without harassment and fear. They need the opportunity to recoup and regroup, and so do I."
I guess that pretty much sums up the way I feel.
