Guaranteed to spark memories of enjoyable time spent afield, this classic collection of stories from well-loved authors Gene Hill and Steve Smith captures the essence and humor of the outdoor life. Whether they're writing about ice fishing, calling ducks, dealing with gunsmiths, or dragging the unwilling dog to the vet, these two wits are sure to entertain. And when it comes to recalling those all-too-abundant missed shots, close calls, and ones that got away, readers might just learn a thing or two about the art of "looking at the truth from a variety of angles," as Gene Hill offers "irrefutable proof that the judgment and memory of the outdoorsman improves, like a fine wine, with time."

Hunting & Fishing

New Win Pub

From dust jacket notes: "...Some of Gene Hill's stories are nostalgic, recalling a farm boyhood and such memories as cutting one's own Christmas tree and sledding it home, or landing a trout from the swimming hole up the brook. Other articles offer fresh insights into the human spirit: the nature of true sportsmanship or the inspiring experience of hunting in high mountain country. Still others are gently humorous as Gene Hill discusses such things as Texas chili cooking or strategems for getting expensive and unnecessary new shotguns into one's home without being noticed by a watchful wife. Here indeed is a rich and varied reading experience for all lovers of outdoor sport. There are stories of duck, pheasant, and quail shooting, salmon and trout fishing, guns and tackle, skeet and trap shooting, and much more. they are written with the brilliance and quiet wisdom that makes Gene Hill's work outstanding. These stories form a treasury of outdoor life and adventures in the field and on the stream, in Gene Hill's very special world."

Hill Country: Stories About Hunting and Fishing and Dogs and Guns and Such

Dutton

From dust jacket notes: "...This is a book about hunting and fishing, of course, but it's more than that; it's about the animals and objects, the people, the attitudes and emotions that make hunting and fishing important. It deals with chewing tobacco, pipes that won't stay lit, being raised by dogs, how to make good sandwiches, and how to soothe a wife. Anyone who understands the delights of a good pocketknife, the absolute necessity of a new gun or rod to add to his collection, the hopes that glow with the arrival of a new puppy, the superiority of old gunning clothes, the sleepy good cheer of a smoky fire, the mystique of flashlights and tackle boxes, will recognize himself in this book...."
