“The joy of hunting was beyond accounting, once I was old enough to be trusted … with my father’s old shotgun. I loved to bring birds down, to take quick aim at mallards, pintails, teal … and feel the twelve-gauge bounce against my battered shoulder …  ”A.B. Guthrie Jr., The Blue Hen’s Chick: A Life in Context, 1965
