THE HUNTERS AT REST, 1871, BY VASILY PEROV Ouotes
In the city, people of different ranks stand scowling and apart; but when they go to hunt, to fish, or to any other sport or occupation in the fields, they are fellows. Nature thus makes brotherhood; and if all mankind would study nature, all mankind would be brothers. E. J. Lewis, M.D., Hints to Sportsmen, 1851 Submitted by Jerry Serie Easton, Maryland
Hunts are memorable for many reasons – your first, and worst luck, your last; the most exciting; the most dangerous; the biggest trophy; the happiest; the one with special friends; and more. They can occur anywhere from a small game thicket in the back pasture to a mountain in Tibet and, of course, they can happen any time. You most often only really know how great one was until long after it was over. Jim Rikhoff and Eric Pepper, Hunting Moments of Truth, 1973

When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride, He shouts to scare the monster who will often turn aside. But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail, For the female of the species is more deadly than the male. Rudyard Kipling, Great English Poets, 1992 Submitted by Frank M.
