They 'Haint Any

Jack Howard (1875-1971) was a noted outdoorsman who made countless expeditions in the woods of northern Maine and New Brunswick to fish, hunt, canoe, and to photograph his experiences. He ultimately came to feel that there was more sport in “hunting with a camera” than a rifle, and became ever more concerned about conservation. From 1915 onward he spoke regularly to groups ranging from sportsmen’s clubs to policy makers. He delivered the following remarks to an unidentified group of Massachusetts sportsmen during World War II, sometime after March 1943.
