A legitimate hunter now, Dale Hamm learned the art of market hunting-taking waterfowl out of season and selling them to restaurants-from his father during the l920s. During the l930s and l940s, he kept his family alive by market hunting. At the peak of his career, Hamm poached every private hunting club along the Illinois River from Havana to Beardstown.HuntersUnited StatesBiographyWaterfowl shootingIllinoisIllinois RiverHuntersWaterfowl shooting639.1/092BHamm Dale1916-1570253Bakke David1951-1093787MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778132103321The last of the market hunters3843747UNINA
