Theodore Roosevelt was one of the original US conservationists. From preserving the first National Park to establishing the Forest Service and National Wildlife Refuge system he has always held wild creatures and the places they call home in high regard. Roosevelt was an avid hunter and outdoorsman, and an advocate for what he called "the strenuous life" which included spending time hunting in the wild to develop character and substance. He founded the Boone and Crockett Club a prominent international organization dedicated to wildlife conservation and hunting. Theodore Roosevelt, a great American president and champion of wildlife conservation.

I agree, Teddy was a great man. He loved pheasants and spent many summers in South Dakota in an awesome lodge near Custer State Park. There is an elegant dining room there named the Pheasant Room. It's full of stuffed pheasants. (I've been there) Teddy was the man behind it. The pheasant is South Dakota's state bird. Sorry for the trivia, but I just had to share.
