The Life and Times of a Tried-and-True Duck Hunter

Donny McElvoy’s new book, Duck Blinds I Have Known: The Life and Times of a Tried-and-True Duck Hunter, is a light-hearted and insightful look into the past 55 years of his addiction to duck and goose hunting. It is a culmination of well-seasoned waterfowl hunting tactics, tips, techniques, hilarious stories, and anecdotes of his lifetime of hunting experiences. Mix in some true confessions, sage advice, and a few little-known historical facts, and his book will keep you entertained throughout.

The waterfowl hunting fraternity is the social club of the hunting world. There are very few hunting situations where you are actually encouraged to make lots of loud, strange noises in the pursuit of wild game. Furthermore, duck blinds afford participants the opportunity to spend time with friends and family in close quarters. Within those walls, there is constant talking, laughing, cutting up, and, of course, hunting. And all the while, everyone gets to witness some of nature’s most glorious sights and sounds.

Donny Mac has knocked it out the park and I couldn't put this book down . As a life long duck hunter, I found so many tips to use next year and all the tales of the hunt and so much excitement that I want to get up at 3 in the morning to go again. Something for everyone to enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is Duck Hunting 101!
If you are a serious waterfowler or just someone wanting to know more about duck hunting, this book is a must read. Donny Mac does an excellent job sharing his great hunts, memories and the traditions that every waterfowler holds close to their heart. As a professional duck hunter and outdoorsman, I can tell you from firsthand experience that Donny’s observations are spot on. He also gives great advice for anyone wanting to enter into the Duck Hunting fraternity. There is definitely no fluff here. He shares the good, the bad, and the ugly. Most importantly, he keeps it real. Loved this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a fun read!
As a professional editor, I read many books. Some are quite good – some, well…not so much. So I always feel fortunate when I can work with those select authors who not only are very knowledgeable in their respective fields, but who also possess the ability to tell their stories in a way that truly engages the reader. While reading Duck Blinds I Have Known, I found myself laughing out loud on many occasions. If you’re seeking a book that will both educate and delight, look no further. Donny McElvoy is a master storyteller.

What a fantastic read!!!
I’ve read a lot of books in my day, and most have been pretty-ok to say the most. I throughly enjoyed “Duck Blinds” from start to finish! If you’ve ever hunted, fished, or been a general outdoor-person, this book is sure to engage with you. Likewise, if you are from or have spent any time in the South - this is a must read! Mr. McElvoy has captured all the humor, camaraderie, and memoir-tales that only a true cultural storyteller can!
