    Yes, this is very familiar to me... In a funny way, I marvel at anglers who wait patiently for hours to catch a small fish, and they marvel at us doing the same to "shoot" a bird or animal! Posted 2 months ago

      Hehe, true. Although I also know a few people that fish that see it as therapy, they don't seem to care if they catch anything. Posted 2 months ago
