Hill Country

by Gene Hill

From dust jacket "...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 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."
