The wild duck chase par Martin J. Smith

A great look at a micro-culture, or even a few, wildlife artists, duck stamp enthusiasts, hunters and birdwatchers. Terrific conservation program that deserves more publicity, hope this book helped

The Wild Duck Chase: Inside the Strange and… par Martin J. Smith

A good overview of the Federal Duck Stamp program, focusing on the Hautman brothers, frequent winners of the annual contest. A quick, breezy read about a rousingly successful government program.
