From the moral base camp of the Valhalla Lounge, deep inside Buck Peterson's Duck Lodge and Advanced Plucking Center, Buck provides meaningful answers on how to call ducks (based on the latest research on how drakes and hens communicate); how to identify game species such as the rare Johnathan Divingsom Seaduck and the Fly Blue-Wing Devils; how to measure trophy ducks using official Boom and Crockpot Club standards; how ducks interpret near-death experiences (NDE); and much more. At great risk, Buck exposes the dog lovers' conspiracy to dominate the retriever world and explains the advantages of owning a duck-retrieving pig. A gourmet chef and an all-around sportsman, Buck also shares his recipes for duck spare parts. THE COMPLEAT WATERFO(U)WLER is the perfect gift for any hunter frustrated with his bird dog or ready for a good laugh.

The Compleat Falconer
Author: Frank Lyman Beebe
Publisher: Surrey, B.C. : Hancock House
ISBN:
Category : Aquila
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
A veritable how-to of Frank Beebe's lifetime experience. Included are plates of 32 original paintings and more that 100 illustrations and drawings. What is Falconry? Really it is just bird watching, although a rather dramatic, specialized, glamorized, and historical kind of bird watching. It involves the taking of a predatory bird into the same kind of familiar, loosely controlled relationship with man as is so well known and so commonplace with a dog or a horse; then, with the relationship established, going out hunting in the company of that predatory bird in a partnership in which the bird is the primary hunter and the human plays the lesser part. The human becomes a bird watcher or, if involved, in the menial capacity of a bird dog to flush quarry or as an assistant in subduing quarry already taken. It is an ancient, honorable, and rather humbling relationship, as old in time as that of man and dog or man and horse. With the exception of eagles, most of the birds involved are smaller than the most ordinary house cat or Pekinese dog and are about as dangerous to people. They are accordingly much less dangerous than any ordinary-sized dog and infinitely less dangerous than is the smallest pony. Their acquisition and their use, therefore, needs no more in the way of imposed control than does the keeping of the most inoffensive dog or cat. This book is about falconry. It deals with the acquiring and the care, control, and training of the kinds of raptorial birds most suited to this ancient relationship and also, as far as is now possible, describes and identifies the birds of falconry. Of the determined and devious twenty-year efforts, extending from 1964 to 1987, by nature preservationist groups and government agencies to control, constrain, institutionalize, and finally to simply criminalize falconry, this book will contain only enough to orient a newcomer. Some of this had to be included, somewhat reluctantly; it is highly condensed and closely edited to allow some comprehension of why and how contemporary falconry has become so different from its traditional past as to require a new book with quite different priorities and orientation than heretofore. The training procedures I propose in this book differ significantly from the traditional procedures reiterated in all previous books on falconry and are especially oriented toward the training of these domestic hawks and falcons. Because they are essentially man made, these birds come to the falconer not only devoid of fear and of hunting experience but also devoid of those subtle disciplines imposed by natural selection with which the traditional procedures were, by trial and error, so perfected to cope.
