HISTORIC DUCK HUNTING STORIES THE GOLDEN AGE OF DUCK HUNTING

E27 THE BIG SIX MIGRATORY BIRD TREATY ACT


Listen Later

Through the tireless effort of the Big Six—John B. Weeks, George P. McLean, Gilbert Pearson,

William Hornaday, George Shiras III, and Elihu Root—millions of duck hunters
owe gratitude, especially the latter two. George Shiras III, a member of congress
from Pennsylvania, began the fight right away back in 1904. Elihu Root—possibly
