An African proverb:


'Hasta que los leones tengan sus historiadores, los cuentos de la caza siempre glorificará al cazador'

Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter

"Vegetariana - que es una palabra vieja de los américas nativas que significa cazador pésimo"

"Vegetarian - that's an old Indian word meaning lousy hunter".

Andy Rooney


I'm not sure how to say "Indian" as in Native American. I figured india would signify from India, which is not what was meant here.

Te lo dirá todo cazador veterano que el sonido más aterrador del mundo natural no es el rugido tremendo emitido por el tigre feroz, ni es la estampida atronadora de la carga de los elefantes, pero es el efecto devastador de oír "clic" al esperar oír "¡pum!" (un estampido).

Any seasoned hunter will tell you that the most terrifying sound in nature is not the tremendous roar of the ferocious tiger, nor is it the thunderous stampede of charging elephants, but it is the devastating effect of hearing "click" when expecting to hear "BANG!!"
