Pertinent Trivia Question #II

[Outdoor Writer]

Here's another one that relates to recent discussions here. Again -- no cheating and that means no googling either! -TONY

 

Who Wrote:

 

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.

Fred Bear, or maybe Ernest Hemmingway

Nope. Good tries, though. -TONY

I now know, but will wait. Never would have got it. I have read plenty of books through the years too.

That sounds ominously like you cheated. -TONY

[KGAINES]

No I answered first and checked when you said I was wrong. I will not answer again, I meant I would wait for someone to get it right.

Right. That's what I meant. Otherwise you would have had it right on the first try. -TONY

Tony have you read anything by Craig Childs, interesting reading when you consider what we think is a drought. I can't quite believe everything I read in his book though some is true, but I can see where others could, especially who have never set foot in the desert and then believe we should never mess with water and habitat because we are making it worse on the wildlife. I would love to hear your thoughts if you have read it.

No I got it, I did cheat after I answered. Google is an amazing tool, and no the answer isn't the guy on the blacktail website

[crotalus]

Jack O'Connor... who may have borrowed it from Google.

[DesertBull]

It was a famous European hunter and writer, from either Spain or Portugal I think. I forgot his name.

[Red Rabbit]

Abbey?

[bowhuntinmaniac]

Aldo leupold.

[CouesWhitetail]

Sounds more like Teddy Roosevelt to me.
