In
the words of Theodore Roosevelt
"
In hunting, the finding and killing of the game is after
all but a part of the whole. The free, self reliant,
adventurous life, with it's rugged and stalwart democracy,
the wild surroundings, the grand beauty of the scenery, the
chance to study the ways and habits of the woodland
creatures -all these unite to give the career of the
wilderness hunter it's peculiar charm. The chase is among
the best of all national pastimes, it cultivates that
vigorous manliness for the lack of which in a nation, as an
individual, the possession of no other qualities can
possibly atone.”
