Summary

Currituck County, in the northeast corner of North Carolina, has been a duck hunting destination since the nineteenth century. Perhaps no one is more proud of that tradition than native gunner Travis Morris, who has hunted waterfowl in the area since he was a boy. In this engaging fifth volume of his colorful Currituck hunting stories, Morris tells of the dedicated guides who work these waters today using float blinds, or scissors rigs. He relates all the kinds of details that hunters never tire of discussing--not only the techniques, equipment and strategies, but also the heritage, culture and experiences that bind them together through a shared appreciation for their breathtakingly beautiful natural resources.
