Gordon MacQuarrie, best known for his Old Duck Hunters Association stories in popular outdoor magazines, was a full time outdoor columnist for the Milwaukee Journal from 1936 until his untimely death in 1956. This book, bearing the same name as his column, Right Off The Reel, contains 84 of his best columns. These deal with his early friends and hunts in northwest Wisconsin, his life with his neighbors at Middle Eau Claire Lake, Mister President (Al Peck) and conservation stories about Aldo Leopold, Ernie Swift, Sig Olson and others. Many of these columns are in fact rough drafts for the ODHA stories found in magazines or reprinted in The Old Duck Hunters trilogy or other books. All proceeds from this book will go to the Barnes (WI) Area Historical Association (BAHA), which supports a MacQuarrie Museum and library in the area of MacQuarrie's beloved cabin on Middle Eau Claire Lake.

Although his typewriter has been silent for nearly fifty years, Gordon MacQuarrie’s words continue to inspire generations of hunting and fishing enthusiasts. Through his “Stories of the Old Duck Hunters,” most of which are still in print, MacQuarrie captured the intangible, emotional qualities of the outdoor life in a way that made him unique among his peers. As a result, his audience and his legend continue to grow. Gordon MacQuarrie: The Story of an Old Duck Hunter is the first full-length biography of this literary legend. It explores the relationships he nurtured and treasured; records his coming of age during Theodore Roosevelt’s Conservation Movement; documents his rise to national prominence as the first full-time, professional outdoor writer in America; and follows his life as journalist, storyteller, husband, father, outdoorsman, and conservationist. Complete with rarely seen photographs and a comprehensive timeline of his writings, this book is a fitting companion to MacQuarrie’s own Stories of the Old Duck Hunters anthologies.
