[pct-l] Bless the hunters

[Jim Keener]

I used to share an office with a young fellow who was engaged to a  
woman whose brothers and father were avid hunters. He was told he  
would learn to hunt. And he did. He told great stories. Camaraderie,  
adventure, and an outdoors skill set which easily rivals, and I think,  
beats that of a lot of hikers, especially mine. These guys did not  
stick to trails, having to go where the game went.
