Nothing is so conducive to the perfection of all the senses as the constant practice in wild and dangerous sports.

The eye and the ear become habituated to watchfulness, and their powers are increased in the same proportion as the muscles of the body are by exercise.

Not only is an animal immediately observed, but anything out of the common among surrounding objects instantly strikes the attention; the waving of one bough in particular when all are moving in the breeze; the switching of a deer's ear above the long grass; the slight rustling of an animal moving in the jungle.

The senses are regularly tuned up, and the limbs are in the same condition from continual exercise.
There is a peculiar delight, which passes all description, in feeling thoroughly well-strung, mentally and physically, with a good rifle in your hand and a trusty gun-bearer behind you with another, thus stalking quietly through a fine country, on the look-out for "anything," no matter what.

There is a delightful feeling of calm excitement, if I might so express it, which nothing but wild sports will give.
