Hunter Quote by Théun Mares
““The hunter handles his world with such care that he leaves no trail behind him. to leave a trail would be to become hunted by something more powerful than himself. The art of the hunter lies in his ability to choose both the timing and the location of his appearance. By doing this his interaction with the world becomes calculated and frugal, and thus the hunter avoids depleting both himself and the world around him.””
