Awesome book

The book takes place in Washington State, home of long seasons and plenty of wing-shooting opportunities. Mr. Otto lays out his entire season beginning to end, covering subjects like family, dogs, decoys, traditions, superstitions, and of course lots of hunting action. Some of his pursuits are doves, upland birds, puddle ducks, divers, geese, sea ducks and brant. It doesn't matter what your favorite birds to hunt, you will enjoy it.

Very good read!

Loved it. Felt like I was there. I loved the relationship the author has with is brother and family. Good book, I would recommend it to anyone.
