I was pig hunting with several guys in Texas back in the '90's.

One fella came back to camp and said that he had hit a nice one. When asked where he hit it he replied:

"in front of the rear shoulder"

Needles to say, it was a long tracking job.

"The thrill and glow of nature is strong within us. The great primitive outer world is still unconquered, and there are impulses within the breast of man not yet measured, curbed and devitalized, which are the essential motives of life. Therefore, without wantonness, and without cruelty, we shall hunt as long as the arm has strength, the eye glistens, and the heart throbs."
-Saxton Pope

 "Calm and careful, make it count."

“A good archer is not known by his arrows but his aim"

I like my signatures.

Also, I really like Fred Bear's part in the song "Fred Bear" by Nugent.

...teenage thrill seekers really want to get a thrill...go after Polar bear, brown bear, ...It'll cleanse the soul...

My hunting buddy and I listen to that song before hunts quite often on the way to the woods.

Course we sometimes laugh and add things using our best Fred Bear voice like...you really want a thrill..try slapping a polar bear on the A$$ and see what happens...

we mean no disrespect...just makes us laugh and think about the time at camp ....after a few..one of the guys piped up and said it and everyone started rolling..

good times...

These are just a few from my all time favorites:

Roger Rothhaar "I kill because I hunt, I don't hunt to kill." "If i miss a huge animal I know it's not the end of the world, I'm appreciative just to have had the opportunity."

Barry Wenzel "I am pure murder at 5 yards."

Gene Wenzel older quote "I'm not saying that everyone who shoots a compound is a jackwaggon, just saying that every jackwaggon i met in the woods was shootiong a compound."  Recent quote "With uncertainty comes Harmony."

Just a few from my alter egos.
