I rank Gene Hill's "The Stranger" and "Pepper" with Nash Buckingham's "Play House" and "Hail and Farewell"__And in my signed copy of his "Shotgunner's Notebook" his "Guns as Investments" is still valid today- I met him and he signed all my copies of his books extant then in Oct 1990, when he and Mike McIntosh were out here in MI on a Orvis sponsored tour-at that time, the asst. mgr. of the local Orvis Shoppe in Ada was a close hunting partner-, so he invited me- and my Gene Hill books, like my Grandfather's AHE, are NFS- not now, not while I am above ground- and I turn 74 tomorrow- Guns as Investments-, huum- a Model 21 on Ex-Lax Bay for half a grand- yup, damn good investment in today's market- DT, Ext. early series M21 perhaps at that bargain basement price--
