About This Item
Petersen Publishing. New/New. New Old Stock in original publishers shrinkwrap. Illustrated with fifty color paintings and B/W drawings of David Maass, accompanied by the prose of Gene Hill, one of America's favorite upland and waterfowl writers. David Maass' career and experience as a wildlife artist spans over fifty years. Considered to be some of the finest in the wildlife and nature artwork genre, David's diligent study and dedication to his work set his artwork apart, earning rich accolades from his peers and admiring public. A seasoned hunter once said of David Maass' work, "That's exactly how it is and if it isn't, it should be." His inspiring images of waterfowl and game birds capture the thrill of the hunter's quest and the pure admiration for his quarry. Maass has won thirty-three duck and conservation stamp competitions, including two of the coveted Federal Duck Stamp Contests, one of them in 1974, when he was also chosen Artist of the Year by Ducks Unlimited. He has been named Artist of the Year and feature artist by many other exhibitions and conservation organizations, including the National Wild Turkey Federation and the National Wildlife Art Collectors Society. Gene A. Hill (1928-1997) was considered by many to be one of the best outdoor writers of his time. He is perhaps best known for two very popular outdoor columns: âTail Feathersâ, written in Sports Afield, and âHill Countryâ, written in Field & Stream. Among other things, he had a unique ability to understand and describe the relationship between a man and his hunting dog. He also had a weakness for the finer things in life, including fine shotguns, beautiful scenery, and a glass of good bourbon. By all accounts, Hill was remembered as a great writer, and his books are among the most popular in outdoor sporting literature today.
