Aldo Leopold quote help please

I am looking for the exact quote that I am pretty sure is from Aldo Leopold. It has to do with a hunters ethics when no one is watching. Something like the sportsman has no gallery to aprove of your conduct or something like that. I have tried a couple different searches not been able to find it.
Thanks for looking.

I found this on Google
“Ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching- even when doing the wrong thing is legal.”

Thanks Joe, but I don't think that is it and I have seen it somewhere recently but of course can't remember where.

That is a good one too wooddamon - sounds more like what Greg is looking for.

I love his writings. Always a copy of "A Sand County Almanac" in camp.

I wish I was going again but I won't be making it this year. I am going to miss Don Thomas and ALL of the fun. I am going to try for next year. I got a taste of that hog hunting last year and want to do more. Enjoy.

Sand County Almanac was required reading when I was a wildlife student in the 70's (Purdue). The thing that has stayed with me the longest were Mr. Leopold's observations about hunters going up and down the highway in opposite directions to their hunting spots.
It was if folks were trading places. One guy leaves home to hunt while another comes to hunt that very spot he left -- and vice versa.

In addition to "A Sand County Almanac," you may want to read "Round River" and "River of the Mother of God," also by Leopold.
And along the same line, I highly recommend "Meditations on Hunting," by Jose Ortega y Gasset. It doesn't have as many quotable sound-bite sentences in it, but it will take you deep into the "why" of hunting.
