Description
Excerpt from The Huntsman of the South
IT is the inexorable law of Nature that all liv ing creatures prey upon one another. By beak, talons, and claw the fight was commenced, and it will end only when this world is no more.
To say that sporting is a cruel pastime is to ignore the fact that all fin, fur, and feather batten upon one another, and if the ri?e or gun did not end their days, they would be killed anyway.
I think the greatest gift Nature can bestow upon a child is to endow him with a love of the forest, the field, the stream, and to infect his blood with a longing for field sports. It will make the boy and the man stronger, healthier and hap pier.
My sporting days commenced many years ago, on a big plantation bordering the Potomac River. Game was plentiful in those days when the muzzle-loader was king, and it was a woeful day for sportsman and game alike when the breech-loader and the pump-gun were invented.
