“Whether hunting is right or wrong, a spiritual experience, or an outlet for the killer instinct, one thing it is not is a sport. Sport is when individuals or teams compete against each other under equal circumstances to determine who is better at a given game or endeavor.

And if you wait until it's perfect in your head before you get of the couch and start working on it, that's never going to happen.”
