~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "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 the exercise, the distraction from his job."
"How many of us really need all the big bores we have? The need is not physical, the need is mental, emotional, spiritual, or whatever tag one wishes to apply. Dreams make life bearable. And hopefully for some of us, the dreams become reality".
