Farrington was the saltwater editor for "Field & Stream" for nearly two decades and one of Hunt's prominent patrons and friends. "Together, Farrington and Hunt wrote and illustrated eight books...the two were an odd pair...but they had two things in common: they both loved duck hunting and bluewater fishing."
