I want to shoot an elk with a bow. Mind you, I've never hunted in my life. But I feel like if I'm ever going to hunt, it's going to be with a bow. I just feel like a bow requires more skill.
I'm keen to get into trophy hunting, no animal in particular, but a big safari in Africa would be great.
We only call at ducks when their rear ends are towards us. If I'm looking at you and you call my name, then I know where the sound came from. But if you had your back to me and I holler and you turn around, you would assume somebody hollered. You want your decoys to represent the sound that you're making.
Deerstalking would be a very fine sport if only the deer had guns.
Come September, the middle of September when the first frost comes, that's hunting season. Fishing poles are hung up and the hunting season starts. You've got to be careful, if you're a hunter, that it doesn't become an obsession.
My great forte in killing buffaloes was to get them circling by riding my horse at the head of the herd and shooting their leaders. Thus the brutes behind were crowded to the left, so that they were soon going round and round.
They might in the future more than ever before engage in hunting beavers.
Four men are missing; R., Sorel and two emigrants. They set out this morning after buffalo, and have not yet made their appearance; whether killed or lost, we cannot tell.
Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away; and if they could, they would still be destroyed - chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got out of their bark hides, branching horns, or magnificent bole backbones.
I've always said the key to killing a lot of mallards if you live on the East Coast is to move west. The No. 1 rule in duck hunting is to go where the ducks are.
I shoot the same rifle I've shot since I killed my first deer with it when I was nine.
You know, if you need 100 rounds to kill a deer, maybe hunting isn't your sport.
If I could go into the woods and kill a bear myself, I'd wear it proudly as a trophy.
You know I could rent you out as a decoy for duck hunters?
I'm not a big-game hunter. I've always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will.
My nickname was Tarzan: I found my food in the jungle; I hunted birds.
I learnt how to hunt rattlesnakes with an eagle for 'Serena.'
A forest - the word dates back to the Norman occupancy, when it meant an area set aside for England's violent new masters to hunt boar and deer - is necessarily larger than a wood. It belonged to the king and was a fit place for his recreation.
If I had the chance to spend a day with Werner Herzog, I would want there to be a canoe involved. I want to be down in Patagonia or something, and kill some kind of wild beast and skin it and gut it and cook it. And then turn its fur into some kind of layer of warmth. And then trek through the hills.
Go to where the ducks are. Forget the duck calls. If you go where the ducks are coming, you're going to shoot more ducks.
The deer season just opened. A deer hunter in Ventura Country brought in his first man yesterday.
I just had my 30th birthday and we went turkey shooting. It's what I wanted to do, so we went.
One of the central memories of my childhood is of hunting - not well; I am a terrible shot - quail and dove and grouse on a farm on the Tennessee River.
You see the standard hunting show; it's an outdoor television show. A lot of times, it's just a guy sitting in a tree, waiting on an animal. I don't think it does it justice, and I don't think it captures the enjoyment and the splendor of the incredible outdoors and the feeling of being out there.
I grew up in Iowa, so I would go hunting. I took a hunter's safety course in eighth grade to get extra credit in school.
