Interesting to think were times better back then,harsh life but more freedom, I love reading about the marsh men punt gunners and the decoy trapping for ducks.

I read it years ago but finding the old thread about it set me looking for the film of him calling hares.

I think it would have been quite an education to spend a day out with him.

Met Kenzie at the Game Fair,...a long time ago.....

He was brilliant at the Duck and Goose calls.

I've also heard the Warrener doing his stuff,...but, I feel that Kenzie was the Master...

Great to read about these characters from a different era, also enjoyed reading about Snowden Slights from an even earlier time, never see their kind again.
