“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
- Mark Twain
The Sporting Life
Stories of wing shooting, fly fishing, big game hunting, and equestrian activities enjoyed with good company, bespoke guns, camp fires and fine food and drink.
“There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man's life to know them the little that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.”
- Earnest Hemingway
This blog is about all aspects of the sporting life. In it I cover handmade game calls, bespoke guns, fly tying, sporting periodicals, outfitters and more.
“Men do not understand books until they have a certain amount of life, or at any rate no man understands a deep book, until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents.”
- Ezra Pound
