DESCRIPTION:
Who would think that glass eyes, glued into a wooden head, could see the world so clearly?. Meet Gustav, a wooden goose decoy whose quest begins with his "creation" at the hands of an old German craftsman in Illinois, 1930. Over the course of the next half century he is pulled along by the current of rivers, pushed by the energy of providence and influenced by the power of the human spirit. Through many travels and unexpected travails, his story offers a unique and insightful glimpse into the world of the waterfowler
A FUN READ FOR WATERFOWL HUNTERS Pamela Foley This is another book I’ve had on my kindle for over a year. After that long, I’d forgotten what the story was about. Which is fine by me. I like to be surprised. From reading the Acknowledgement page, I knew Ronald was an avid waterfowl hunter. What I didn’t realize, the story is about a wooden goose decoy that comes to life, sort of. When writing reviews, they say not to put the negative first, save it for the end. But in this case, I’m goi. Not just another duck hunting book Dan Lamoreux Anyone who has spent time on the water in pursuit of waterfowl can appreciate this story. What makes it unique is the perspective and it is humorous, heartfelt and, oh, so pertinent to our world today. Take a copy with you to the blind for those moments between flights or buy it for those long winter nights ahead when all you can think about is next season. You won't regret adding this to your library.. Jacqueline M. said Heronknot just for waterfowl enthusiasts!. Heronk is more than just a book about the life of a decoy. It takes the reader on an emotional journey of joy; disappointment; sadness and contentment. The reader can relate experiences in their own life to those of the lovable decoy in 'Heronk'. Pick up your copy; find a cozy spot next to your fireplace with your favorite canine companion at your feet and enjoy the journey!
Some folks say I'm pretty good at that but hey, what do they know? . I am an addict! I have been hopelessly addicted to waterfowl hunting for over 50 years and I hope I get many more of those wonderful years. A small portion of this book allows for a little "Kentucky Windage". A great deal of this book is based on my personal
