Congratulations Allen. I would tend to agree that fishing is probably the best out of hunting, shooting and fishing for developing relationships because most of the time you are right next to the other person. Dove hunting with my dad meant that we stood in different areas, but pheasant hunting was pretty good. Fishing sucked when we were younger because my dad sucked at it, and he didn't really like to do it. Now that we have a boat and I know how to put fish in the boat, he cannot stop asking me when we will be going fishing again. Of course, he continues to ask about hunting and shooting too. About the only thing he asks more often than when we are going to go hunting, fishing, or shooting, is when my wife and I are going to give him a grandchild. He doesn't have any yet and I think he really wants one.

Now, I do prefer hunting over fishing, and probably fishing and hunting over shooting, but I'll take whichever one I can get. Any day doing one of the three is better than working.
