I am a long-time admirer of Nash Buckingham, though I've never hunted bobwhite and only shot ducks in the years before 1970 but I love his writing style and his true dedication to conservation and bag limits.
The only original Derrydales I have of his are "Mark Right" and "De Shootinest Gent'man" - true literary works of art. I had No. 25 of "Game Bag" but foolishly sold it.
But to visit the Ducks Unlimited headquarters would be a real destination trip for me.
