Outdoor Yarns and Outright Lies: 50 Or So Stories by Two Good Sports

by Gene Hill, Steven Smith

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."

[Fred Shaw · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short stories of outdoorsmen, Gene Hill and Steve Smith. Smith, a magazine editor, book author, hunter and fisherman. Gene Hill wrote for Field & Stream and Gun Dog magazines. Hilarious and warming stories of men spending time in the woods and on the waterfront. Gene Hill wished for a perpetual puppy and a 12 year old daughter never aging.
