Just back from Tholo (a helluva a hunt--report to follow) and trying to recall Lyell's famous quote about being back in civilization and how hard it is. Somebody on here uses it as a tagline and I am trying to find it and share with a bunch of my mates who helped get me back in one piece.

"But at home one is bound with petty regulations and irksome restraints.....People do not understand that a wanderer returned views things from a different standpoint.....He feels lost even in great crowds, for nothing and no one seem in sympathy. The people he knows may be good fellows, but they do not understand him, and he does not understand them.....Environment is at fault, because it has become foreign to him, and he longs to get back to the bush, the hills, and the plains, where he spent some of the happiest days of his life, for there he felt an exaltation that no civilized land can possibly supply."

I've always liked this one best for its shortness, sweetness and fine French melancholy: "On préfère la brousse, n'est-ce pas?" [We prefer the bush, don't we?] It was spoken to me by an excellent French PH upon our return to "civilization" after a long safari in the Selous. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Just about the best quote to sum up a wilderness hunter. That's why I had it in my AR signature for a while. It was too much room to keep it with the current sheep hunter one. Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||
