“the best thing about hunting and fishing,” the old man said, “is that you don’t have to actually do it to enjoy it. You can go to bed every night thinking about how much fun you had twenty years ago and it all comes back clear as moonlight.”--Robert Ruark, once widely read columnist, novelist, big game hunter and author of the novel, The Old Man and the Boy.
