Perry, Gene Hill was 'avid' in about everything he did in the realm of shooting & fishing... mostly shooting, though. Trap, skeet, upland, waterfowl, all of it and he did them all well too. Some readers here knew him personally and enjoyed his friendship. Unfortunately, I was not one of them though I have most of his books and as well as bringing a good chuckle his writing often brings a tear to my eye too.
