Who originated the phrase, IF IT FLIES, IT DIES?
Whenever I see those five words on the window of a decked-out pickup truck, I'm reminded of the noble hunting conservation ethic, and how they must constantly kill waterfowl to keep from starving, not just as skeet practice on live targets.
Who first spoke or wrote those honorable words? Was it originally a hunting term or maybe war-related?
The odds were it was spoken by the first hunter that felt he did not have to obey the restriction limits on any duck that was considered off limits because of it's low population, (canvasback, etc.)
There is a similar saying in the deer hunting sector- "if it's brown, it's down!" In other words it matters little if it is a doe, spotted fawn or otherwise. The words are not noble at all, but rather a disrespect for the game laws.
