Reads like a travel brochure with all the flowery words. I know that it appeals to some, and I'm good with that.  But I would have liked to know how the hunt went. Were  ducks and geese taken? How many and what kind? Mallards, Pintail, Widgeon, etc. Was it a successful hunt? Was it a hunt over decoys or pass shooting? I have been to the location described by the author on many occasions  and can say it is basically mud flats and not as romantic as described. But I love the flats and the time putting out decoys and working a good dog. And I really like bringing home a limit of Alaska waterfowl.
