“It has always seemed to me that any man is a better man for
being a hunter. This sport confers a certain
constant alertness, and develops a certain ruggedness of character that, in
these days of too much civilization, is refreshing; moreover it allies us to
the pioneer past. In a deep sense, this
great land of ours was won for us by hunters.”
Archibald Rutledge “Why I Taught My Boys to Hunt” (Early
1940’s)
