It's a book about duck hunting, first and foremost, that spans three flyways, and takes you into the blind with everyday, working stiff waterfowlers who like it best when its cold, wet, and muddy. Hunts run the gamut of North American duck country-coastal marsh, flooded timber, rice fields, high lonesome prairie, and sprawling mountain valleys flanked by snowcapped peaks. Many hunts on public land accessible to all. There are hunts on private land in duck clubs that for many are a staple of the waterfowling tradition. From my late teens into my fortissimo, the stories herein tel the tale of American duck hunters who purché this passion in their own inique way. If you're a duck hunter, you've been there, done this, and know what its all about. Duck hunters everywhere are unique for the absurd lengths they will go to be where the duck are. The theme runs through this collection of short stories. There are tales of youthful folly, exploration, family, old friends, new friends, good dogs, wild ducks, wild country, muddy water, and wide horizons. No matter where one goes, the drama of the hunt often plays out the same transcending regional differences while capturing the nuances of culture in a pursuit that has long defined the history of hunting in North America.

What happens when a classically-trained New York chef and fearless omnivore heads out of the city and into the wild to track down the ingredients for her meals? After abandoning Wall Street to embrace her lifelong love of cooking, Georgia Pellegrini comes face to face with her first kill. From honoring that first turkey to realizing that the only way we truly know where our meat comes from is if we hunt it ourselves, Pellegrini embarks on a wild ride into the real world of local, organic, and sustainable food. Teaming up with veteran hunters, she trav­els over field and stream in search of the main course—from quail to venison and wild boar, from elk to javelina and squirrel. Pellegrini’s road trip careens from the back of an ATV chasing wild hogs along the banks of the Mississippi to a dove hunt with beer and barbeque, to the birthplace of the Delta Blues. Along the way, she meets an array of unexpected characters—from the Commish, a venerated lifelong hunter, to the lawyer-by day, duck-hunting-Bayou-philosopher at dawn—who offer surprising lessons about food and life. Pellegrini also discovers the dangerous underbelly of hunting when an outing turns illegal—and dangerous.

Each chapter offers recipes for finger-licking dishes like: wild turkey and oyster stew stuffed quail pheasant tagine venison sausage fundamental stocks, brines, sauces, and rubs suggestions for interchanging proteins within each recipe Each dish, like each story, is an adventure from begin­ning to end.
