From dust jacket notes: "...Some of Gene Hills stories are nostalgic, recalling a farm boyhood and such memories as cutting ones 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 ones 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 Hills work outstanding. These stories form a treasury of outdoor life and adventures in the field and on the stream, in Gene Hills very special world."
