John J. Jackson, III - President, Conservation Force
“There can be no stewardship without stewards.”

Charles Darwin, from Diary of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, 1839
"It has been said, that the love of the chase is an inherent delight in mind - a relic of an instinctive passion."

President Theodore
Roosevelt, 1905
"In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. the excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wild life, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination."

"I do regard it necessary to extend a hand of friendship to our colleagues who find themselves knee-deep in the hunting world. The true hunter is a special kind of person, someone whom we should cherish amongst us. And we should express our concurrence with those who still hold ethics close to them bosom. Simultaneously, we should recognize the constructive way in which hunters participate in community upliftment in Africa, because in many cases that is true."

“[H]unters do more for wildlife than anyone.”

Karen Blixen, Shadows on the Grass (1985)
“Hunting is ever a love affair. The hunter is in love with the game, real hunters are true animal lovers.”
"The person who can take delight in a sweet tune without wanting to learn it, in a beautiful woman without wanting to possess her, or in a magnificent head of game without wanting to shoot it, has not got a human heart."

John Barsness, "Kudu Quest" (American Hunter magazine, January 2010)
"If you hunt kudu long enough, you'll find they also live in two other kinds of habitat: your blood and your mind."

Former U.S. Department of Interior Secretary Gale Norton.
“Dating back to Teddy Roosevelt, hunters have been the pillar of conservation in America, doing more than anyone to conserve wildlife and its habitat.”
