I read about duck hunting on those Kansas river sandbars-John Hewitt detailed a lot of those hunts in his book "The Winchester Model 12 as a Way of Life""-great stories about his boyhood days hunting and fishing in Kansas, with his father, twin brother, and other family friends--

John wrote for the older GSJ-- when Ed and Becky Gray were "at the helm".. He wrote, IMO, the best of the many hunting stories I've read, about coming down from Alaska to hunt pheasants in Kansas- in early November-- great story. RWTF
