    All my friends are huge on fishing and hunting. I'm the only one who hasn't attempted yet. I have decided to learn how to fish when I got to Florida in February. This past February they catched about 80 fish in one single day. It was amazing!! So I want to join in the fun next year. Deer hunting, I dont ever see myself doing.

    I'm not sure what you mean by derailed. I kind of have an idea but I think the owner of this outfit is an outdoorsman and cowboy. A classy guy. Just my guess but a respectful hunting thread is probably allowed. I have my photos but I hear you. I'll wait and see.

    I have a Ruger No. 1 .375 H & H Magnum. I have my own reloading room, too.

    Back in September, our last fishing trip was for Sauger. The fishing was like that. For the first three hours it was a matter of drop your line, let it hit the bottom, bounce it once and bring up a fish.

    It was INSANE. And so much fun.

    My son and I enjoy fishing, particularly for catfish. :)

    We don't currently live in an area we can call "our own", so we don't have access to spaces for cleaning and preparing hunted meat, nor a local butcher (in our immediate area) we can utilize to help us package and store anything we'd hunt, so we wait.

    Someday, we'd like to be able to, although I doubt I'd be doing the hunting unless it's related to quail/pheasant.

    There's a whole subset of life I'd like to get involved in; but can't due to my spouse's job (we move around a lot and have no permanent home of our own). My lofty ideal is to be a homesteader and pair it with minimalism/zero waste.

    Might be a pipe dream, but that's where I'm working toward.

    You’ll get there someday. I’m sure of it.

    Naw, likeminded people enjoying the outdoors and taking personal responsibility to help ensure our wildlife thrive.

    I could post a pic of the bucks head I have in the freezer that I’ve not Europe mounted yet. That will probably derail it. 😂

    That's part of why I'm surprised... not everyone is like-minded, and not all of them would just keep scrolling.
