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.

You can learn more about hunting deer with a bow and arrow in a week than a gun hunter will learn in his entire life

If you consider an unsuccessful hunt to be a waste of time, then the true meaning of the chase eludes you all together.

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

Nothing clears a troubled mind better than shooting a bow.

If you are not working to protect hunting, then you are working to destroy it.

I hunt because I love the entire process: the preparations, the excitement, and sustained suspense of trying to match my woodslore against the finely honed instincts of these creatures. On most days spent in the woods, I come home with an honestly earned feeling that something good has taken place. It makes no difference whether or not I got anything: it has to do with how the day was spent.
