Which best describes what you hunt for?

[MattMan81]

So I'm pretty amazed how few guys clicked BB hunters. I thought more guys on here were about the big ones. Maybe they didn't vote in because they are busy scouting. The rest of us who have jobs and families are hiding at work talking on forums.

I go offshore when I'm invited.. Not very interested in spear fishing, I got a H2O bow that I take when we go offshore...freshwater bowfish regulations essentially only allow trash fish. I'm not good at it... Shooting from shore is tough with the extreme angle/water refraction...traditional bow with no aimer doodads....almost hit a fish once....hahahaha

Elevated on the boat much better...big schools of spadefish are very fun

The category I fall into isn’t here. I’m in between #1&2. I try to scout out target bucks and dedicate my time in and around those areas. I don’t have to shoot my target buck but I pass on deer under 2 years old. If it’s January and I haven’t gotten anything, I will take anything bigger than a spike to fill the freezer and I would throw myself in front of a car to save the life of a doe. “I’m exaggerating but you get the point “ We have some zones here that are 9 doe per season and some are unlimited doe “which people take full advantage of”. I have to wonder if people even know where deer come from. Before these laws we had huge herds. Now a herd is a doe and 2 fawns.

Hope you was diving in a hecs outfit.

Lol. What a scam. Snake oil suit does nothin. See sharks 99% of my dives and never been hurt. Lemons, Bulls, Carribean Reef sharks, black tips, sandbars, Great Hammerheads, etc.. Never been a problem. Only shark i dont regret never meeting was a Tiger. Seen em from the boat but never underwater. Hammerheads are by far the coolest shark to swim with. HUGE and docile...unless you're a tarpon.

Watched sharks rip my fish to shreds plenty of times and ive been rammed twice but they were just trying to get the fish out of my hand. Did have a huge nurse shark gently bite my dive fin one time but she swam away after. I wish i had a gopro during the last 2 yrs down there i would have had some crazy footage. Especially on the night dives. You just see one swim through your flashlight and then disappear into black.

Ive been bit by snapper a bunch of times after the shot. Worst was a dog snapper on my hip, i couldnt get him to let go. And i got bit by a spiny lobster pretty bad on my finger (yes they can bite...HARD). Weirdest pain related thing that ever happened was a spiny sea urchin in st. thomas stung me right on the tip of my johnson.

Spearfishing is something like a peaceful adrenaline rush. Laying on the bottom of the ocean in silence and then boom, you're connected to a 30lb grouper. If you like hunting and fishing it is the ultimate sport. Its a very frustrating learning curve but when you get it down there is nothing quite like it.

Shooting from land with a trad bow is super frustrating. I suck at it.

Part of me thinks at least the daytime dives would be fun but the other part thinks Mother Jue never raised such a fool.

One of the inlets I fish has jetties that extend out a good ways...to hit the deeper holes u gotta wade out waist to belly button deep. It's maybe 200yd walk from casting location to the cooler so I thought I be slick and keep a stringer attached to my belt loop....bigger than me bull shark snatched me around by the waist till my trout ripped off....that was a stupid idea....hahaha....if u can hit the hole u catching a fish

Shore fishing off the beach is something I really enjoy...and saltwater inshore is my bread and butter... Lifes hectic and I don't get to go do my outdoors stuff nearly as much as I'd like... I'm way better at fishing than hunting...
