Hunt created approximately 250 magazine covers, including more than 100 for Field & Stream, illustrated numerous sporting books, and designed the 1939–1940 Federal Duck Stamp. An early conservationist and supporter of Ducks Unlimited, he was celebrated for his vivid depictions of wildlife and sporting life. Upon his death, The New York Times described him as "the Audubon of his time."
