Northwest of Someplace: Stories from Roads Less Traveled. Volume I

By Jake Smith

An anthology of hunting, fishing, and outdoor stories from four authors who have been there. The members of the Lost Branch Sportsman's Club share their stories of days in the woods and on the water of (mostly) Michigan chasing big game, small game, trout, panfish, or simply being outdoors, where success doesn't come through bag limits and competition, but by being present. Authors include PDJ/RJ/JL editor Jake Smith, and frequent contributors Jon Osborn, Chris Smith, and Greg Frey.
Soft Cover. 120 pages.

Small Water Waterfowling

By Chris Smith

New Release! When it comes to actually shooting ducks and geese over water, the action is on the small places, inland lakes, ponds, potholes, floodings, creeks, and backwaters. Day in and day out, that's where the ducks are, and that's where Smith takes you. He lays out the different techniques, decoys, calling, gear, weather, dog skills, bird species, and expectations for these quiet and intimate spots. And in a sport where more is often viewed as better, Smith weaves personal hunting stories throughout, emphasizing the important role ethics play for the modern-day waterfowler, and how a full bag limit isn't the end goal but rather icing on the cake.
Softcover. 212 pages.
