I have duck hunted for 25 years and for 22 of them I had only vague guesses at most species of duck I was shooting at. Not any more! I can identify most species of duck from flight level & style long before they come into gunning range. In hand identification is even better. Le Masters uses bill/plumage identification. I have not shot one duck that we could not identify using this book. I cannot say enough good things about it. The best $7 you'll ever spend for duck hunting. Ladies give your husband a gift he will absolutely love.
I was issued a copy oif the Waterfowl ID guide by my supervisor three years ago. I have used it numerous times when a species was "tough" or when a hunter wanted to see comparisons. The bill chart is the greates feature. I'm transferring so I must pass on my booklet to the "new" warden, so I have to have my own.
This is the most comprehensive book on the market for identifying all waterfowl species. No duck hunter should be without!
This is the ultimate book for waterfowl identification in the field. I recommend that any waterfowl hunter, new or experienced, take this book into the field for identification purposes. It is the most practical book on the market for this purpose.
The book is ideal for classification of ducks, but gives little detail as to where the birds are geographically located. Also there is no indepth discussion of each individual bird other than the detail for identification. It would be nice if there was a paragraph or so giving a little history on the ducks identified.
This book has all the detail that I was looking for. The down side is that the book is printed on such thin paper it is extremely brittle. The cover page is made from the same thin paper as the rest of the pages. I was looking for a book for my blind bag and this is just to fragile. If you are looking for a durable book look elsewhere. I will be.
While the content is decent the construction of this book makes no sense. I expected this would be a somewhat durable, field-ready product in that it is spiral bound and pocket sized but in fact it seems like someone made this at home on a photocopier. This is way too expensive for the quality of materials. Pages are thin, the cover is the same thin paper stock, reproduction quality is low. I might pay $4 for this as an impulse buy at a store if I had seen it first. This will barely survive as a shelf-guide. I would prefer to pay 15-20$ and get a well constructed field-ready product.
This is an awesome book for learning about the different duck species and identifying them when you get that one that you just don't recognize. I gave it as a gift to a friend that lives in Michigan and that I hunt with every year. He is a hard core outdoorsman, but still uses this book a lot. My only criticism is that they should have laminated the pages. I would have gladly paid a bit more for that feature.
