I searched for this quote and could only find the beginning part of it where he is talking about doing a good job. I cannot find anything relating to hunting, or HF ranches.

I know that there where HF ranches in TX during his day, but they where few and far between compared to today. There where no whitetail deer breeders back then. They where almost unheard of anywhere else in the country. New Zealand didn't have them, but I'm not sure about South Africa.

Why would he be against something that was so rare that most peopled didn't even know it existed?

Everything about this quote screams out like a FB Fake News meme, made up to support a personal agenda by somebody against HF, and nothing about John Wayne.

You can order your refrigerator magnet now. They only have two left.

As a side note, I have hunted both high fence and low fence.I have no problem with either.
Is their a thread debating canned hunts on here?

The previous threads about this reminded me of this movie clip.

What amazes me is why should any of us care one iota what someone in Hollywood says about the way we should live our lives?

I am amused the Hollywood types think they are so persuasive, but in the end, their agenda is to get paid big bucks for their endorsements and I would not doubt one bit that every one of them that makes any kind of political or positional stance on something has some financial reward for it either in the form of investments, or PAC money or some "charity" giving them money to say their stupid stuff.

Lets get real, no Hollywood person ever does anything like this without going through their agent, and someone needs to pay.


having said that and stepping off my soapbox, the Duke never said all that. No way. First sentence is his, rest if made up hogwash.

Remember Sheryl Crow and the one square of TP suggestion to save the forests?

The Duke would never, ever, hunt a high fence area, put beans in his chili, or drive a Ford or Chevy truck. That's all there is to it, Pilgrim.

No one is disputing the quote on that magnet. He said that. Where is the rest of the quote - the part about high fence hunting - that you accuse him of saying? That's what everyone is disputing as untrue.

I'll argue with that. He would hunt high fence if the Injuns ran in there, he drove a Ford pickup, and ate beans in his chili because he wasn't some skinny jean wearin foodie metrosexual from Dallas!

Here's his truck and his saddle!

Of course JW put beans in his Chili. He's not ghey.

+1

Tell me no!

The man who would run and jump into the saddle had running boards on his truck?

Why not? There's stirrups on his saddle!

I thought his most famous quote was:

"Every man knows a 30-06 will shot a deer deader than a .270,"
-John Wayne

My favorite is,

"Everyone knows that quotes copied from the internet are usually BS."
-John Wayne

Got home from sth. Tex my two new friends towed my Geo with tie strap behind Jeep Wrangler . Turns out I was just out of gas guess gauge don't work . Put $10.00 dollars in tank and grabbed .50 cal hawken some Indian corn am headed to Childress Throphy doe hunt got John Wayne hunting ethics book going Lf. For sure wish me luck!!!!!

The deadest deer I have ever seen was killed with 30-6!!

So everyone agrees with John on this I gather from the post

Absolutely.

If you don't agree with John, you must be a Pilgrim.

This country was founded by pilgrims.

Yes, I absolutely agree with this:
"A man's got to have a code, a creed to live by, no matter his job."

Which appears to be the entire quote.

This should put this one to bed.

Thank you for buying the book and posting the actual quote.

Let us know how the book is after you finish reading it.
