I shared 4 quotes yesterday that are near and dear to me. I'm going to take a second bite at the apple. This is a quote I have thought about a lot over the past year. In light of the passing of Toby Keith, I was thinking about it again today. I think about it as it applies to more than just things like planning trips to Africa, though for those of us who plan trips to hunt, it very, very much applies, IMHO.
