Summary: A sportsman who writes for sportsmen
Review: Gene Hill truly understands the way a sportsman feels and thinks. This book is a collection of stories that will make you laugh at yourself, because if you've ever hunted, fished or known someone who has you'll recognize a little bit of yourself in the stories. This is the first of Gene Hill's books that I've read, but certainly not the last. Great fireside reading with your loyal hunting dog at your feet.

Summary: Soulful writing
Review: Gene Hill was one of our best outdoor writers. I've always loved this book. My copy, autographed by him, is raggedy around the edges. I think he would have liked that. It contains a beautiful little story I have shared with many friends on many occasions, titled "Christmas Trees." It opens, "I've learned to live with a lot of planted things--trout, quail, pheasant, rabbits, and the like--but somehow I resent 'planted' Christmas trees. Even my own."
