  a post by Lawdwaz got me thinking .... what is your favorite quote/saying?  Ive got a few but I like 

FISHERMAN'S OATH

"I am a fisherman for life.

I will always be a fisherman.

It's not something I do, it is who i am.

It is not a place,

But a lifelong journey.

It is a passage my father showed me, and one I will show others. 

When you understand all of this, 

you will know me, 

and we will fish together. "

 

Insert "hunt" for "fish" also works!

“In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen.” -Theodore Roosevelt


"0 Lord, I am a hunter
And life I seek to take
But let me not attempt the shot
Beyond my skill to make
For Lord they are your creatures
Given for our use
But each one falls within your sight
They're not for our abuse
And when I loose my arrow
Please guide it swift and true
Or let it miss completely, Lord
That pain be not undue
A clean kill or no kill, Lord
Such is my heart's desire
Give me the skill to make it so
Or let me hold my fire
And when my time upon this earth
The days they are fulfilled
Grant that I may die at least
As clean as those I killed" - bowhunter prayer

...less serious.
my cousin: "i can't believe i missed that big buck! he was so close i didn't even need to use the pins!"
"this is what happened. i bared down on him and to get crosshairs real steady.  ....but my elbow layed right into the [car] horn."

“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.”

This is an easy one for me....From Tom Kelly's " The Tenth Legion", regarding turkey hunting..

" If you persevere, you will eventually kill a few turkeys that you do not deserve....However, if that same time, you will DESERVE a lot more turkeys that you do not kill.."

Or words to that effect.....hehehe....Truer words have never been spoken....

River Run Through it:
The Lord has blessed us all today...it’s just that he’s been particularly good to me!
(I’m usually on the listening end of that quote by the way!)

“Buck/Dow down...bring the sled!”
That’s the first text sent from my buddy or myself when success comes our way.

How about my wifes ::

Why in the world would anyone get up so early and go out in the pitch dark and sit in a tree in the freezing cold..

As I get older and sit in that tree I sometimes wonder myself,,, but would never admit she may be right “AGAIN” :)
