True, so why doesn't the same thing apply to fishing? I mean if I sit bobbing up and down all day trying to catch a fish and don't, I have totally wasted my time.

Nope JusP. Same thing. After catching a few, I spent 4 fishless hours standing in a trout stream last PM. Watched the bugs, occasional rising trout, an otter catch a fish and a stork stalking the shallows. Spent all day today adjusting my casting with longer range rods plus tying and sorting flies and am heading out again later this PM.
It was a great day.

Right on, Bluesman. I always feel closer to God when I am outdoors and take the time to slowdown, look around, and see how things out there work.

'But we in it shall be rememberèd— We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.' Henry V via Shakespeare.

The Cat
In the Bible just like that exactly? Yeah right! False doctrine!
If it takes you being in the bush to actually feel closer to God whats that really say for us?
Certainly not that we are spiritual. And you really think that comes from God? I certainly don't. Know the truth and it will set you free.
The enemy can sure use a lot of things to trick us all. Beware and be wise and be always be studying like a Bierean to show yourself approved.

Kinda reminds me way back when I got my first bow for Christmas and shot the neighbors chicken in rear end. I didn't figure it was going to fly away with my arrow up its butt. The neighbor lady brought it over asking if we knew anything about it? Oh there was trouble then. LOL
When a neighbor brings prey to you and asks if this is your arrow. Its truth or consequence time.LOL
By the cat.
Worst part was they ate my chicken I killed him and didn't get to eat myself. He was in my yard so i figured fare game. I tried to plead that very thing with my parents but that didn't go over to good. Funny thing was I thought I saw my father try to crack a smile as I got my bow taken off me and my hide tanned.LOL

re. the very first reply in this thread - "True, so why doesn't the same thing apply to fishing? I mean if I sit bobbing up and down all day trying to catch a fish and don't, I have totally wasted my time."
There is a very real difference between fishing and 'catching'. Someone once said, 'The fishing was good, the catching was poor.'
I've never considered one minute of fishing, hunting or shooting to be time 'wasted'. Sometimes I've caught nothing, killed nothing, or couldn't buy a ten ring with gold eagles. But every minute was good.

My uncle, if your digging a hole you must dig another to put the dirt in.
Experience is a series of non fatal mistakes.
The life you live is the lesson you teach.
Experience is the hardest kind of teacher, it gives you the test first and the lesson afterwards.

On Down the Road..........
Hold to the course, though the storms are about you;
Stick to the road where the banner still flies;
Fate and his legions are ready to rout you--
Give 'em both barrels--and aim for their eyes.
Life's not a rose bed, a dream or a bubble,
A living in clover beneath cloudless skies;
And Fate hates a fighter who's looking for trouble,
So give 'im both barrels--and shoot for the eyes.
Fame never comes to the loafers and sitters,
Life's full of knots in a shifting disguise;
Fate only picks on the cowards and quitters,
So give 'em both barrels--and aim for the eyes.

I’m 100% on board with those who hunt to fill the freezer. But for me, the only failure in an “unsuccessful” hunt is if I don’t learn anything….
Speaking of which…
“There are those who learn by reading in books. There are those who learn from observing the mistakes of others. And there are those who have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.”
No idea who said it first, but I learned it from my dad…
