I like gooses & icemans responces ;;
I don,t hunt /nor do I judge those that do ;;
fishing // I,m neither proud or {I HOPE} don,t brag >>.
if its not commercial >> I go for fun/ sometimes I never even fish >>> to me fishing is alot more than the actual act of fishing ...
its getting ready /travel / sunrise /sunset /starts / catchin /not catchin // fishing with good friend //fishing alone // I really enjoy taking someone out & have them have a good time // its even better when your lucky to take a guy that feels similiar to myself >>>> just being there ;;
I post photo,s >>. but its not in your face .. most are of schoolies .> many times for the purpose of showing it was caught on a plug made by a member on this site ;;
pride /proud >> In most part it isn,t associated with fishing or hunting ;;
I do take pride in my knowledge on the waters ... yet I smashed up bigtime twice this year ;;
Pride >> my kids & how they live there lives ;;
Pride >> How I do my job . honestly & knowing I honestly trying my best ;;
Pride .. of the things I accomplished /since trying to stay sober
Pride .. of the friendships I have ::;
Pride The ability to say I f $%^&*( up
Pride being there when things are tuff ;;
Pride being sober & a help to my wife in her L O N G battle with cancer ;;
I guess there is much more >. but this has open sore spots >> I,m gone for now >>

I would have to say that I'm with clammer, I fish for fun, yeah I keep fish sometimes, of course I brag to my close buds when they're not catching fish(all in good fun), I don't do it to say I'm better than them or make them feel bad, it's just what guys do to each other, I also remember times they were catching all the fish and rubbing it in my face, again though, it was close friends joking around more than trying to compete with each other

I didnt see the huntin show you talked about but have seen enough. Many times the hunts are on ranches, especially when it comes to whitetail or boar. Some are open, some are fenced in. The deer are raised to be killed. QDM quality deer management.
Im proud of the 2 110 pound 8 points i have taken with my bow(i know they are small but they are my trophys), and was embarrased when i came back from a huntin trip and went to an aquaintances house to see the biggest deer in my life hanging in the garage. A real 8 point that dressed at more than 200 lbs without its head. His wife shot it at the local "game preserve". Who knew they had alberta deer in michigan. It only cost her 8500 bucks. She bragged and her husband couldnt have been more proud as they recapped the story. She gets to the ranch, takes 2 test shots with a 30/30. They get in the golf cart and the deer start coming out to see whats for dinner. She sees a nice one, the owner tells her the price. She shoots, 20 yard shot. Im happy that they gave me and my buddy the deer. Tasted very good for a deer that big. Gotta love a deer thats fed better than most cows we eat.
Im sure the story of that buck has now changed to include the deepest swamp in michigan in a blinding snow storm and finally getting the legend of the great swamp after 5 seasons on its trail and countless missed shots.
That kind of hunting isnt for me. However, people have the right to so it. If it makes em happy and feel good, so be it.
