Where master hunters have stalked their prey for centuries.

The Heart of a Hunter

By

Hunters are adventurers, wildlife enthusiasts and lovers of nature.

Their heart is to conserve nature and enjoy the outdoors.

They study the animal and its behavior that they are planning to hunt. 

And on a hunt the means are always greater than the end.

For a hunter, hunting is a way to be intimate with nature. 

It is not all about the kill as is so often perceived. Hunters love to be in the outdoors, spending quality time with friends and loved ones while on a hunt. A quote by Charles Fergus sums it up so well: ‘Hunting has opened the earth to me and let me sense the rhythms and hierarchies of nature.’

Hunting – a great adventure if not the greatest that the world can offer.

A Hunter’s Heart…

‘Despite our ever-changing, ever-indignant world with its growing ignorance of and indifference to the ways of the wild, I remain a predator, pitying those who revel in artificiality and synthetic success while regarding me and my kind as relics of a time and place no longer valued or understood. I stalk a real world of dark wood and tall grass stirred by restless wind blowing across sunlit water and beneath star stream sky. And on those occasions when I chose to kill, to claim some small part of nature’s bounty for my own, I do so by choice, quickly with the learned efficiency of a skilled hunter. Further in my heart and mind I know the truth and make no apologies for my actions or my place in time…Others around me my opt to eat only plants, nuts and fruits; still others my employ faceless strangers to procure their meats, their leather, their feathers and all those niceties and necessities of life – such is their right, off course, and I wish them well. All I ask in return is no one begrudge me and all of us who may answer the primordial stirrings within our hunters’ souls – my right to do some of these things myself.’  M.R.James

               

 Any man is a better man for being a hunter. Hunting is a sport that requires alertness and develops a ruggedness of character.
