In 1950, Becker made Buckingham a replacement after the original shotgun was tragically lost in an accident after an Arkansas duck hunt. The second Bo-Whoop is now displayed at Ducks Unlimited’s national headquarters in Memphis.

I believe (in other words don't quote me on that) that it was found in some old man's house in either Illinois or Indiana just a few years back. Apparently the man was in MS on a hunting trip, found the gun on the side of the road, and left for home, never hearing the radio and newspaper ads offering the reward for the missing gun.
DAMN OOS'ER!

He was a sports writer, not a cotton farmer.

I've got a question. Are his books still in print or can you just buy the old books. I guess what I am trying to figure out if they are readily avaiable or are the hard to find antiques.

From what I have seen, no, they are out of print.
There was a printing several years ago, but your best bet is to find an old copy.

I saw a few titles at "Lemuria' in Jacktown at Banner Hall off Northside Dr.
They have an eclectic mix as does "Square Books"(I think it's called) in Oxfart!

They keep a log everyday and track numbers, species, gender...When we finished hunting on Jan 7th, they had harvested just over 1200 ducks, with ~85% mallards. So they are clicking along pretty good, but still have done better in years past. They hunt nearly every morning, always leave the woods by 10 AM (no matter what) and hunt NO afternoons. But they have a good many guests come through each year. Charles Scwabb hunted there the week before I arrived...needless to say, in some regards (aka at the lodge), I felt a little out of place. But in the timber, I was at home
