Animals Quote by Steven Rinella
“Like many hunters, I dream of one day getting a grizzly bear. Yet I've passed up numerous opportunities to legally kill grizzlies, both in Alaska and Canada, where their numbers are plentiful. Even though I hunt for all of my meat, I have opted instead to relish being close to these remarkable animals.”
