A classic hunting scene featuring a rifle and several harvested doves laid neatly across a weathered wooden fence, set against the backdrop of a sunflower field. The arrangement highlights the connection between effective wildlife management—such as planting black oil sunflowers for dove season—and the traditions of Southern dove hunting. The image captures both the bounty of the field and the respect for sustainable hunting practices that are central themes in John P. Faris, Jr.’s outdoor stories.
