"Go afield with a good attitude, with respect for the wildlife you hunt and for the forest and fields in which you walk. Immerse yourself in the outdoor experience. It will cleanse your soul and make you a better person."
Fred Bear--1965
"The Nation behaves well if it treats its natural resources as assets, which it must turn over to the next generation increased, and not impaired, in value."
Theodore Roosevelt--1913
"The bow is a more sportsmanlike implement than a gun, because it requires more skill and personal strength, and, in hunting, it places the man and his quarry on a more equal footing. It fosters the preservation of game."
Dr. Saxton T. Pope--1916
"In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. The excellent people who protest against all hunting and consider sportsmen as the enemies of wildlife, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is, by all odds, the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extinction."
Theodore Roosevelt--1914
After all, it is not the killing that brings satisfaction; it is the contest of skill and cunning. The true hunter counts his achievement in proportion to the effort involved and the fairness of the sport."
Dr. Saxton T. Pope
