"One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted." Jose Ortega y Gasset Meditations on Hunting
 
In a goose blind when "protected" whistling swans flew low and slow overhead...,

Newbie, "What are those?"
Guide, "Thems whistling swans".
Newbie, "How many of them are we allowed to shoot?"
Guide, "As many as you can afford".

My dad and I almost broke ribs while laughing at the confused look on the newbie's face, until we explained the fines involved in shooting swans.

I shot (.308) at a lady elk, 150yds, bullet in behind leg and out front somwhere down range. She rolled into a ditch and laid there. My brother in law uses a .270 and walks over to look. "You better get a 270 if you put in for another elk tag. Your lucky this one fell in a ditch and broke her neck."

50 some years ago, at the tender age of 6, I had the opportunity to sit at the poker table with my grandpa, dad and several of their hunting companions. After several hours of watching them take each other's money, smoke each other's cigars, drink each other's whiskey and telling tales of all the bucks they'd shot over the years, I told my grandpa that him and his friends must be great hunters cause of all the huge bucks that they had killed. He turned and smiled as he said to me...."son, a big buck will die a thousand glorious deaths, but a nubbin will die humbly only once".

It took me a few years to understand fully what he meant.
