Tweetable Quotes:

• “For me, a younger hunter, I like to move fast through the woods. So, you know you’ve got different grades of speed that you kind of look for in rabbit dogs and so, a rabbit will run in a circle.” – Delvin Terry
• “I’ve got the patience to train and work a dog. Some people don’t have that patience to sit down and want to get in the grit with the dog. You got to do that when you are working any kind of dog.” – Delvin Terry
• “A  lot of young hunters, guys that are new to it, they try to rush the shot. They get too excited and rush the shot. The same with deer hunting you know? You’re going to miss your shot because you’re rushing.” – Delvin Terry
