" One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted... If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of exercise, the distraction from his job.....Just something to chew on while your out hunting. :) hunting, Ed

Beautifully put Ed,

I could not have said it better, you almost brought tears to my old eyes !

I have had those feelings every time that I have hunted. It is as becomming one with nature and God.

And living off of his Great Bounty, as it was ment to be.


SNIF-SNIFF,

Very Well Put !

Bill
