Rating:
Summary: Mostly delightful
Review: As the title indicates, stories of mostly birds and bird hunting in this book. As usual, Hill writes with a relaxed but concise style that makes the reading easy. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Summary: Fond memories, sometimes even our own
Review: Gene Hill was one of my favorite writers and one of the first I ever began to follow. Field and Stream isn't much without him. This is a beautiful book. One of my favorite stories is "Things Homemade." Mr. Hill writes, "The men of the house thought nothing of being able to put the set back in a bucksaw, deliver a reluctant calf, spokeshave a hickory limb into an ax handle, and all in the same afternoon." If you'd like to remember those times, even if you never saw them, get this book.

Review: This is the first Gene Hill book I have read. Although I enjoyed reading all of the hunting stories, Mr. Hill could have been writing about French poetry for all I care. His writing is that good. This book will have you laughing, thinking and probably hunting. I look forward to reading more Gene Hill.
