Hello Oh Learned Ones
Many years ago I was in a library in another city
I took out a book and began to read the short stories
One caught my fancy
It was of a City worker that was over worked and tired and
needed to get away.
He sent a canoe by rail to the north country and spent about
a month there by himself. Even lost his small outboard engine in the lake.
Anyone remember who the author is and in which book?
Thanks
Mike

Mike, the story you are looking for is titled "Nervous Breakdown" written by Gordon MacQuarrie. Page 127 in the book titled "More Stories of The Old Duck Hunters". Published by Willow Creek press edited by Zack Taylor in 1983. It's a great story as all MacQuarrie stories are.

Every true upland hunter should, in his lifetime, have one good shotgun and one good bird dog.

Amen to that. I like the one about a WWII soldier returning from the war using hunting to help him adjust to civilian life and the one about a man turning to the outdoors for help when his best friend dies. Mac was a northern Wisconsin(Superior) boy and a member of the Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame.
