Every sportsman can relate to this romantic image, if not as an actual place, then as an ideal constructed many times in the imagination. The tree sign conveys the essential message: "Welcome to Hunter's Haven, Have a Good Day."

In this classic painting Terry Redlin shares with us a nostalgic remembrance from his youth. "It's the way I saw the world as a young boy," he says. "Those were the 'good old days,' my memory tells me, when the pace was a little slower, the birds more abundant and good friends everywhere."
