-the wedding ring
-and suffering.

Noteworthy Quotes

"The sportsman lives his life vicariously. For he secretly yearns to have lived before, in a simpler time. A time when his love for the land, water, fish and wildlife would be more than just part of his life. It would be his state of mind." Author, Jim Slinsky
[This is my senior year hs quote]

The fishermen's prayer:
"I Pray that I live to fish my last dying day, and when it comes to my last cast, I then most humbly pray, when in the Lords great langing net and peacefully asleep that I be judged big enough to keep." Author, Robert Eppard

"The farmer who opens his land to hunting and fishing should be our friend for life. The farmer who closes his land and pollutes our waters is a threat to our very way of life." Author, Jim Slinsky

"The death of a hunting dog is only made tolerable by the memory of his life." Author, Jim Slinsky

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes." Author, Thomas Jefferson
