Hunting and Fishing: What’s Your Take?

[SS Project Manager]

For some folks, hunting and fishing aren’t just hobbies—they’re traditions. They connect us to nature, fill the freezer with real food, and often come with stories that get told around campfires for years. Others see them as skills that go hand-in-hand with self-sufficiency and living closer to the land.

But let’s be honest—hunting and fishing also come with challenges. Early mornings, long waits, and sometimes heading home empty-handed (while the squirrels laugh at you from the trees).

So let’s hear from you

• Do you hunt, fish, or both?
• What’s been your most memorable catch or harvest?
• Do you see it as a way to save money, a sport, or more of a lifestyle?

Share your stories, tips, and even the “one that got away.” Who knows—you might inspire someone to pick up a rod or dust off their old hunting boots.

i used to fish when i was living up north in the UP of MI. cleaner water and more scenic. i walked streams most of the time and fished for brook trout and rainbow trout most of the time. once in a while we canoe fished different small lakes for pike and bass. we usually did catch-and-release and only kept a few for eating.

i don't fish down where i am at now, the water isn't very clean and is also slow moving and warm and it also isn't very scenic in most places because it's mostly all farm fields.
