A Hunter's Fireside Book: Tales of Dogs, Ducks, Birds and Guns

A Hunter’s Fireside Book, originally published in 1972, is a timeless celebration of the hunting and outdoorsman lifestyle. For decades, Gene Hill’s articles and books have captured the spirit of the outdoors in a way that inspires and entertains millions of readers.

Hill writes with a deft wit and a rich nostalgia for days past. The bond between a man and his gun, a man and his dog, and a man and his woods, is unlike any other. Hill uses humor, wisdom, and passion to give voice to experiences, memories, and loves shared by so many sportsmen for their craft, their pastime, their lifestyle. A Hunter’s Fireside Book captures the essence of the life of a sportsman and explores the full spectrum of the hunter’s experience: from sunrises in the duck blind, to an unforgettable hunter’s moon, to the camaraderie of men who know the pleasures of being wet and cold and a little bit lost.

Articulate and sophisticated, yet down-to-earth and accessible, Hill’s writing makes him a fan-favorite amongst hunting enthusiasts of all ages. He writes with an infectious reverence for the age-old relationship of man and nature—readers will hardly be able to put this book down.
