  • A minimal level of sportsman ethics afield is mandated by written law. Beyond that, say, when an action is legal but ethically questionable, or when (as Aldo Leopold long ago pointed out) no one is watching, hunter ethics is an individual responsibility.

    THEODORE ROOSEVELT (2015). “The Deer Family”, p.81, Loose Cannon
  • If sports do not hold significance in our life, we cannot nurture sportsman spirit as a "Sanskar" in our society and without such "Sanskars", the society cannot flourish!

  • People complain professional sportsmen are locked away but when they get out and enjoy themselves, people have a go.

  • The procedure has a strange Alice-in-Wonderland quality. The reservoir was created as a public water supply, yet the community, probably unconsulted about the sportsmen's project, is forced either to drink water containing poisonous residues or to pay our tax money for treatment of the water to remove the poisons - treatments that are by no means foolproof.

Now it is a poor sport that depends for its existence on the want of a voice in the sufferer, and of imagination in the sportsman.

    Sports   Thinking   Voice  
    Leigh Hunt (1834). “Leigh Hunt's London Journal”, p.21

  • It is well known that no person who regards his reputation will ever kill a trout with anything but a fly. It requires some training on the part of the trout to take to this method. The uncultivated, unsophisticated trout in unfrequented waters prefers the bait; and the rural people, whose sole object in going a-fishing appears to be to catch fish, indulge them in their primitive taste for the worm. No sportsman however, will use anything but the fly, except when he happens to be alone.
