Overview

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.
