Reviews"The stunning photographs and the heartfelt stories in A Million Wings inspire people. While everybody will not play golf at Augusta National or play in the U.S. Open, they watch. They watch and it inspires them to play the game and to play the game better. In golf, the big clubs and the professional game is a small part of the whole story, but it is what motivates people to grow the game. Like Augusta National, the private retreats featured on these pages may seem like the ultimate hunting experience. But these are the places that do the work to keep duck hunting alive and inspire people to gain a better understanding of the sport. They motivate the rest of us, they are the ones who are growing the sport and I, for one, say, 'Thanks a million.'" - Davis Love III , winner of 20 PGA events, six time Ryder Cup competitor and captain of Team USA at Ryder Cup 2012. "" The duck clubs of the Mississippi Flyway are legendary for both their hunting and their history. In the new book A Million Wings (Wild Abundance), Susan Schadt and photographer Lisa Buser tell their stories through interviews with members, club lore, and gorgeous images. Join in the morning high jinks at Greasy Slough, near Jonesboro, Arkansas, see the sun rise at Fighting Bayou, outside Ruleville, Mississippi, and learn how Anderson's Hole, at St. Charles, Missouri's Dardenne, got its name. Hint: It's not a good idea to complain too much at duck camp."" -Garden & Gun magazine, "The stunning photographs and the heartfelt stories in A Million Wings inspire people.
