Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.

Who gets the bird, the hunter or the dog?

There were 35 hunters in there on that hunt, and only Doug and one other hunter got a bird. I had to feel like the hand of God was on our shoulders on that one.

A bird in hand is better than two in the bush

A feather in hand is better then a bird in the air
