A hunt based only on trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be . . . time to commune with your inner soul as you share the outdoors with the birds, animals, and fish that live there.

The history of the bow and arrow is the history of mankind

It is no coincidence that the American hunter is the most patriotic of all our citizens. Who cares more for this land's beauties than he?

I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target, but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's way of fang and claw and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow.

A hunt based only on trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be.

I feel like one of God's chosen people, having had the opportunity to share, with many fine companions, these varied and lovely realms of our natural world.

There's more fun in hunting with the handicap of the bow than there is in hunting with the sureness of the gun.
