Roy Walsh was a Talbot County lawyer who apparently liked waterfowl hunting and history better than lawyering.

He had the biggest collection of commercial waterfowl hunting artifacts ever assembled; gunning punts, punt guns, battery guns, sinkboxes, gunning lamps, and some of the crudest and rarest decoys ever made. At a seminar talk he gave one year at the high school, he said he came close to divorce twice: when he insisted on first building a new 30 x 80 ft. barn to hold all his artifacts, then filled it and told his wife they needed a bigger farm with more land and bigger barns. She reluctantly agreed and said later it probably added 10 years to his life. We of the Tidewater owe him a great deal. |

Interesting that this book come up for discussion - I just picked up a copy at the Southern this year and got around to reading it this weekend. Very informative. Does anyone know of other waterfowl books by Mr. Walsh? I go hunting on the Chesapeake every year so this book was a great find for me. Thank you

I will never forget hunting on Currituck Sound with my son almost 10 years ago. The birds were not flying well but it did not matter.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Dorchester County and some in Talbot , but always for Sika deer . Waterfowl avoided me until a goose a year or two ago and the mallards yesterday .
