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 more noble and fitting end than dying
on some lost and lonely ledge where scavengers will pick his bones and his magnificent
horns will weather away and be lost forever.
Elgin Gates “Trophy Hunter in Asia” (1971)
