If you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on the animal's terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers--then you have not merely killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always capture the day.
--- Robert Ruark, The Old Man and the Boy

--- Stephen King, The Wastelands

--- Charles Fergus, A Rough-Shooting Dog
