Pertinent Trivia Question #5

[Outdoor Writer]

These are gonna be the last ones, and they're toughies. Me think the only ones who might guess them are the cheaters amongst you that might have already seen them thru a google.

 

Each one is from a different person. Use the #s for your guesses. Have fun. -TONY

 

1. "The true trophy hunter is a self-disciplined perfectionist seeking a single animal, the ancient patriarch well past his prime that is often an outcast from his own kind... If successful, he will enshrine the trophy in a place of honor. This is a more noble and fitting end than dying on some lost and lonely ledge where the scavengers will pick his bones, and his magnificent horns will weather away and be lost forever."

 

2. "Whenever I see a photograph of some sportsman grinning over his kill, I am always impressed by the striking moral and esthetic superiority of the dead animal to the live one."

 

3. "I saw a guide-post surmounted by a pair of moose horns.... They are sometimes used for ornamental hat-trees, together with deer’s horns, in front entries; but ... I trust that I shall have a better excuse for killing a moose than that I may hang my hat on his horns."

 

4. "The only reason I ever played golf in the first place was so I could afford to hunt and fish."

 

5. "The flesh is sweeter, where the creature has some chance for its life; for that reason, I always use a single ball, even if it be at a bird or a squirrel; besides, it saves lead, for, when a body knows how to shoot, one piece of lead is enough for all, except hard-lived animals."

 

6. "There is a passion for hunting something deeply implanted in the human breast."

1. Sounds like somethng Jack O'connor might say

 

4. I'll guess Jack Nicklaus, cause I know he's a dedicated hunter and the only golfer I know that hunts religously.

 

The rest I'd have to cheat or think a little harder

#5 maybe Annie Oakley

#1 maybe Hemmingway

#4 maybe Ben Hogan

#3 I think may be a hunter, not sure who maybe Fred Bear

#2 Definately animal activist but from years ago since the term sportsmen was used and not something else, maybe John Lennon

Great questions Tony I had to guess on every one and would be surprised if I got any right.

Okay, update....

 

So far, only ONE guess has been right. -TONY

[Huntn coues]

Well I have a friend that builds golf courses in the valley and he told me that the course he is on now is a

Lehman design course. He told me that he Hunts alot and that Lehman drives a p.u. with some sort of a huntn

sticker on it along with some other stories.

 

So any how I like the Golden bear pick as well.
