 Best of the Outdoor Writers April 19, 1999
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Mr. Hill had an unusual talent for conveying emotions and grassroots feelings surrounding his beloved outdoor shooting sports. The way he felt about his dogs, friends, family, and the time spent afield literally jump from the pages in a way that all outdoorsmen will relate to on a nearly spiritual level. This man loved the out-of-doors gunning sports and those of us who love and live the same will forever be blessed for Mr. Hill's unique ability to bring our own feelings of the sport to life in his wonderful pages. "It was so cold that morning and I had on so many layers of clothing that the only way to get into the truck was to fall over like a log ..." Many passages in this collection of short stories assembled from a Sports Afield magazine series are humourous to the point of outloud laughter and other pieces will have the reader quietly closing the book while holding back a tear. Many outdoor shooting sports enthusiasts will probably not be able to put this book down until it is completely read.
 Not one of his best books. December 6, 1998

I love Gene Hill and have read him for years but this is not one of his best books. There are however a couple of really good essays in this book, notably the one on Sandwiches and the one on Pocketknives written as only the great GH can do. Very little on fishing.
Great book . June 7, 1998

I love it,Gene Hill was my favorite author (he passed away in May of 1997).The book is a mixture of laughter and some seriousness,and has a bit of information in it too.Read it,you'll like it even if you aren't a sportsman/woman.
