@ncscswitch:
I grew up hunting and fishing.
White tail deer, grouse, pheasant, rabbit, squirrel, turkey…
Modern rifle (30/30 for dear, .22 for squirrel), Shotgun (12 gauge), muzzleloader (.50 flintlock, PA did not allow percussion caps for mussleloader season), and archery season (Bear Recurve).
Crappy, Bass, Walleye, Trout, Muskie (you need steel leader for those, even then they bite through it from time to time).
All of it was for food on the table. I ate a LOT of game as a kid.
The only “short” fishing I ever did was for Carp. Fun to catch when they pull your boat up and down the river for an hour, but they taste terrible, so catch and release. And sport shooting was only clay pigeons, targets, or some “reactive” targets (sharpshooting black walnuts still in the husk with a .22… when you hit the nut in the center, they explode!)
Same here… I hunted wild boar, deer, squirrel, and duck. Fished big game… (king fish, swordfish, halibut, crab). And then I like to hit cats in the yard with an aerosoft gun.
I like hunting but just never make time for it. A little more difficult in a city. :-P
