Hunters

Famous quotes containing the word hunters:

    Boys and bad hunters had known what to do
    With stone and lead to unprotected glass:
    Shatter it inward on the unswept floors.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    There is a period in the history of the individual, as of the race, when the hunters are the “best men,” as the Algonquins called them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    When shot, the deer seldom drops immediately, but runs sometimes for hours, the hunter in hot pursuit. This phase, known as ‘deer running,’ develops fleet runners, particularly in deer- jacking expeditions when the law is pursuing the hunters as swiftly as the hunters are pursuing the deer.
    —For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
